Seasons and weather Nicola Rückerová

Different climate zones on the Earth The arctic zone Is mostly snow and frost Temperature stay below zero Life is difficult because there is winter most of the year Typical animals: polar bear, polar fox, reindeer Only winter

The tropical zone Weather is mostly hot, the air is humid Changing of drought and rain seasons are typical Typical animals: monkey, parrot, elephant, zebra, lion, tiger The tropics are a region of the Earth surrounding the equator The wet season, rainy season or green season, is the time of year, ranging from one or more months, when most of the average annual rainfall in a region falls Tropical rainforests technically do not have dry or wet seasons, since their rainfall is equally distributed through the year
