WORD CLIMATES ZONES

*WHY ARE THE DIFFERENT CLIMATE ZONES ON THE EARTH?

BECOUSE THE EARTH IS TILTED (inclinada) ON ITS AXIS (eje) AND THE ECUATOR
RECEIVES MORE DIRECT SUNLIGHT

THERE ARE THREE MAIN CLIMATE ZONES:

TROPICAL TEMPERATE POLAR

ZONE ZONE ZONE

3 SUB-DIVISIONS: 4 SUB-DIVISION: 2 SUB-DIVISION:

1) ECUATORIAL 1) MEDITERRANEAN 1) POLAR

CLIMATES CLIMATES
2) OCEANIC
2) TROPICAL 2) SUBARTIC
CLIMATES 3) CONTINENTAL CLIMATES

3) HOT DESERT 4) TEMPERATE

VEAMOS AHORA EN DETALLE LAS 3 ZONAS CLIMATICAS ANTERIORES:

TROPICAL ZONE

FOUND BETWEEN THE TROPICS TEMPERATURE VERY WARM:

OF CANCER AND CAPRICORN. HIGHER THAN 18 C

TEMPERATE ZONE

IS IN BOTH HEMISPHERES: TEMPERATURE CHANGES SUB-DIVISIONS DIFFER IN

FROM THE TROPICS TO IN YEAR THEREFORE (por eso) TEMPERATURE, RAINFALL
THE POLAR CIRCLES THERE ARE FOUR SEASONS AND HOW CLOSE THEY
ARE TO THE SEA.

POLAR ZONE

FOUND IN BOTH HEMISPHERES THE TEMPERATURE ARE

FROM THE POLAR CIRCLES TO VERY LOW
THE POLES
