​Group 1

3(a) A- Imaginary circles used to describe the different climates

of the Earth:

These bands help geographers describe the climate of the regions of the Earth.

Tropic of Cancer

Tropic of Capricorn

The Arctic Circle

4.Question Four: Fill in each gap with suitable word.To the north of the equator there is an imaginary line called the rctic Circle. Everything north of the Arctic Circle is called the Arctic Region.. The lands of the Arctic Circle form a ring around the Arctic Ocean.. The North Poleis at the center of the Arctic Circle.
