Question

what is torrid zone ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The tropics are the region of Earth surrounding the Equator. They are delimited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′11.3″ N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′11.3″ S; these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

The torrid zone refers to the area of the earth near the equator. As its name suggests, the torrid zone is generally warm. It has a wet and dry season but does not experience the four seasons familiar to residents of the temperate zones further from the equator. The warmth of the torrid zone influences its weather, ecosystems and geographic features.

History

The term torrid zone was first used around 320 B.C.E. by the Greek scientist Aristotle to define the area of the earth closest to the equator. Aristotle presumed this area was too hot for human habitation since the sun's rays targeted this region from directly above. He also proposed a temperate zone with a livable climate and a frigid zone near the Arctic Circle.

Another Greek philosopher named Parmenides also divided these zones into five separate regions with the torrid zone as the base from 23 degrees north and south latitude. A north and south temperate zone were added as were a north and south frigid zone to create a five-zone climate system that remained in use until the standardized Koppen climate mapping system was devised and instituted in the 19th and 20th centuries.When thinking of the tropics, it's quite typical to think of abundant rainfall, lush plants and trees and varied animal life. The torrid zone contains all of these features and one important event that doesn't occur in the other climate zones: The sun is directly overhead at least once during the year in the torrid zone. The temperature in these tropical zones is warm and humid and generally moist year-round.

However, the torrid zone encompasses a variety of topographic features that affect climate. Consider that many deserts and mountains fall within the latitudes defining the torrid zone. Rainforests might be the more typical presumption for the torrid zone, but even snow-capped mountains are possible within this zone.

The Andes Mountains in Chile and Argentina fall within the tropical zone but contain snow and alpine tundra. Australia and portions of Africa fall within the torrid zone. Both of these continents have large areas of desert with extremely dry year-round conditions.
