MORE INFO there are 3 major climate zones on the Earth and they are the polar, temperate and tropical zones. these three climate zone are determined mainly by the location, or latitude, of the zone
in geography the temperature or tepid latitudes of Earth lie between the tropics and polar regions. the temperature in these regions are generally relatively moderate, rather that extremely hot or cold, and the changes between summer and winter are also usually moderate
the polar climate regions are characterized by a lack of warm summers. Every month in a polar climate has a average temperature of less than 10 degrees C. regions with polar climate cover more than 20 percent of the Earth. the sun shines for long hours in the summer but few in the winter
much of the equatorial belt within the tropical climate zone experiences hot and humid weather. there is a lot of rainfall due to the active vertical uplift of air that takes place there, and during certain periods, thunderstorms can occur every day
