Draw a diagram showing Heat Zones, on the earth and explain., , latitudes and heat zones., , Heat Zones on the Earth, , There are three important heat, zones on the earth . They are Torrid Zone, Temperate Zone and Frigid Zone., , Torrid Zone :- Between the Tropic, of cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, receives maximum heat from the sun. This, area is called Torrid Zone. Torrid means, hot., , Temperate Zone :- It lies in both the, hemisphere. North temperate Zone lies in, between Tropic of Cancer and arctic circle., South temperate Zone lies in between, Tropic of Capricorn and Antartic Circle., , Frigid Zone:- Frigid means ‘cold’., Beyond the Arctic Circle and Antartic Circle, temperatures are low and the climate is, very cold due to the extreme slanting of sun, rays.
