CLIMATE ZONES Hot & Dry OR Cold & Wet …

The Earth has climate zones  The surface of the Earth can be broken into different climate zones depending on temperature, precipitation and weather patterns.

Equatorial Zones  Because of the amount of sunlight, regions near the equator are hot.  Rain Forests are wetDeserts are dry (arid)

In between rain forest and desert  Is the Savannah  The lion sleeps tonight…

Mid-latitudes have a variety of zones  From Temperate to  ASub-Tropical  Like…the…Swamp…

Mid-latitudes have a variety of zones  And from Alpine to  ASteppes  (cooler and dryer)

Coastal zones are also unique.  The U.S. West Coast& the Mediterranean  Warm, dry summers & cool, wet winters

Near the poles (or mountains) it’s cold!  Tiaga – coniferous forests… A Tundra A  Polar  Iceor… frozen ground

Each zone is unique!  The temperature, precipitation and weather patterns determine the ecosystems and biomes.  Latitude determines sunshine.  Ocean currents and wind patterns determine seasonal shifts.  Micro-climates exist within the various climate zones, especially where ocean currents and topography are more extreme.  Alpine micro-climates are cooler.  Marine micro-climates are warmer.
