Climate Zones

How many climate zones does our planet have?

• 4

• 3

• 8

• 2

When you hear the words “weather” and “climate” you might think they mean the same thing – but they’re quite different, beacuse...

• The seasons are vey important for our climate

• The tropics are so close to the Equator

• Climate is the pattern of weather in a place over a much longer time.

• Climate changes every day we must to protect our planet.

which of the following concepts deals with tropical zones

• The solar radiation arrives with a smaller angle

• the climate is characterised by less frequent extremes

• The average temperatures here are much cooler than in the subtropics

• The solar radiation reaches the ground nearly vertically at noontime during almost the entire year.

which of the following concepts deals with temperate zones

• The solar radiation arrives with a smaller angle, and the average temperatures here are much cooler than in the subtropics.

• The solar radiation reaches the ground nearly vertically at noontime during almost the entire year.

• The resulting frequent and dense cloud cover reduces the effect of solar radiation on ground temperature.

• Since the sun has a very flat angle toward the ground.

which of the following concepts deals with cold zones

• The climate is characterised by less frequent extremes

• The solar radiation reaches the ground nearly vertically at noontime during almost the entire year.

• Areas between 60° latitude and the poles receive less heat through solar radiation, since the sun has a very flat angle toward the ground.

• Seasons happen because earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees

What Causes Seasons on Earth?

• Since the sun has a very flat angle toward the ground. because of the changes of the earth axis angle to the sun

• Seasons happen because earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different parts of earth receive more solar energy than others

• Seasons happens because the climate changes every sigle day.

• Vegetation is only possible during a few months per year and even then is often sparse.

two processes are known throughout the year that indicate summer or winter, these are called

• Summer And Winter

• Equinox and solstice

• Solstice and Autum

• Equinox

In most cultures, including all western countries, the year is commonly divided into four seasons:

• Summer, Fall, Rain, Forest

• Autumn, Raining, Dessert, Sunny

• Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

• Spring, Summer, Dessert, Winter.

climate zones are divided into general climatic zones and

The different climate zones are...

• spring, summer, fall or autumn, winter

• The astronomical definition and the meteorological definition.

• Latitud and logitud

• Artic Circle, Tropic of cancer, Equator, Tropic of capricorn, Antartic circle
