What to Focus On

  • The Earth has three temperature zones: Torrid, Temperate, and Frigid.
  • The amount of sunlight determines the temperature of a zone.
  • The Torrid Zone is the hottest, the Frigid Zone is the coldest, and the Temperate Zone is in between.

  • Also called the Tropical Zone.
  • Receives direct sunlight.
  • Hot and humid with heavy rainfall in many areas.

  • Has moderate climate.
  • Experiences four seasons.
  • Vegetation includes grasslands, forests, and deserts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Equator is hot because it is closer to the Sun than the Poles.

All places in the Temperate Zone have mild weather all year.

The Frigid Zone is cold because it is far from the Equator, not because of sunlight angle.
