Climate Zones
• The earth in divided into 6 climate zones• 2 Torrid Zones (warm all year)• 2 Temperate Zones (cooler and has seasons)• 2 Frigid Zones (cool to subzero all year)

Factors that affect climate
1. The sun– The sun strikes
the earth unevenly and certain parts of the earth receive more heat than others

2. Latitude – How far an area is from the equator

3. Elevation– Height above sea level– The higher you climb, the colder it gets

4. Large bodies of water– Precipitation and ocean currents affect climate
