hey friends I came here to meet an old
friend but my is so hot here hey dr. B
there you are hey I was just telling my
friends how hot it is here Cavell yes
that's because we fall under the torrid
zone oh that reminds me today I'll tell
you all about the different climate
zones of the earth zoom in the climate
zones of Earth are distinguished by the
latitudes that run across the Earth's
surface the most important ones are the
equator Tropic of Cancer Tropic of
Capricorn the Arctic Circle and the
Antarctic Circle the region between the
two tropics is the torrid zone or the
tropics zone this is the hottest part of
the earth the sun's heat falls directly
on this zone during the solstice and the
equinoxes hmm did those was just bounce
of your head solstice and equinox well
the time of the year when the Sun passes
overhead the farthest north is known as
the summer solstice
it usually takes place on the 22nd of
June and the winter solstice is when the
Sun passes farthest south of the equator
which usually happens on the 22nd of
December and an equinox happens either
of the two times each year when the Sun
crosses the equator and day and night
are approximately of equal length almost
everywhere on earth mark the dates again
it usually happens on March 21st and
September 23rd the torrid zone includes
most of Africa
India southern Asia Indonesia New Guinea
northern Australia
southern Mexico Central America and
northern South America
next is the temperate zones which fall
between the two tropics and the Arctic
Circle in the north and the Antarctic
Circle in the south respectively this is
the perfect vacation zone as it usually
has mild temperatures and enjoys all the
Four Seasons annually summer spring
autumn and winter this is because in
these regions the Sun is never directly
overhead these are the regions that fall
in the temperate zone the North
temperate zone includes Great Britain
Europe northern Asia North America and
northern Mexico the South temperate zone
includes southern Australia New Zealand
southern South America and South Africa
the last of the zones is the other
extreme and so is called the frigid
zones it is the coldest part of the
planet these zones lie beyond the Arctic
and the Antarctic circles so you know
they are freezing and even their
day/night cycles are super real that's
right
sometimes the Sun doesn't rise or set
for 24 hours and sometimes the days
literally one year long with six months
of daylight and six months of night
triviatime
the edges of the temperate zones are
also sometimes referred to as the sub
tropics sub Arctic and sub-antarctic
Aristotle the ancient Greek scholar was
the first one to come up with the idea
of climate zones well Fred's now you
have a better idea of how the climate of
our planet works and seeing how the
climates are getting all topsy-turvy
these days hmm you know where it might
be going wrong so tune in next time for
more fun facts this is me zooming out
