What are the 4 temperature zones?
There are 4 major climate zones:
- Tropical zone from 0°–23.5°(between the tropics)
- Subtropics from 23.5°–40°
- Temperate zone from 40°–60°
- Cold zone from 60°–90°
What are the 8 climate zones?
Climate Zones
- A – Tropical Climates. Tropical moist climates extend north and south from the equator to about 15° to 25° latitude.
- B – Dry Climates.
- C – Moist Subtropical Mid-Latitude Climates.
- D – Moist Continental Mid-Latitude Climates.
- E – Polar Climates.
- H – Highlands.
How many regions are there in temperate zone?
two
The Torrid Zone lies between tropics of Cancer & Capricorn, whereas the temperate zone has been divided into two, the North Temperate Zone which lies between tropic of cancer & Arctic Circle, the South Temperate Zone lies between the tropic of Capricorn & Antarctic Circle.
Where is the temperate climate zone located?
In the south, the temperate climate zone is between the cold climates of Antarctica and the warm climates just below the earth’s hot middle. Looking at a map, you would see the temperate climate zone covering most of North America, all of Europe and much of northern Asia, and the very southern tip of South America.
What are temperate zones for kids?
In geography, temperate latitudes of the Earth lie between the subtropics and the polar circles. Average yearly temperatures in these regions are not extreme, not burning hot nor freezing cold. Temperate means moderate. Unlike in the tropics, temperatures can change greatly here, between summer and winter.
What are the different climate zones in the world?
Climate Zones 1 A – Tropical Climates. Tropical moist climates extend north and south from the equator to about 15° to 25° latitude. 2 C – Moist Subtropical Mid-Latitude Climates. This climate generally has warm and humid summers with mild winters. 3 D – Moist Continental Mid-Latitude Climates. 4 E – Polar Climates.
Which climate zone is labeled H on this map?
The extra climate zone, labeled “H” on this map, is a special zone called the highlands. The highlands climate zone is characterized by weather that differs from the surrounding area because of mountains.
What are the main climatic features of the temperate zone?
The most obvious climatic feature of this climate is that potential evaporation and transpiration exceed precipitation. These climates extend from 20°-35° North and South of the equator and in large continental regions of the mid-latitudes often surrounded by mountains. This climate generally has warm and humid summers with mild winters.
What are the A and B types of climates?
A – Tropical Climates Tropical moist climates extend north and south from the equator to about 15° to 25° latitude. In these climates all months have average temperatures greater than 64°F (18°C) and annual precipitation greater than 59″. B – Dry Climates
