What is Latitude?• Latitude- horizontal parallel lines on a map that measure distance north and south of the Equator.

What is climate?•A climate is weather over a long period of time. Climate is what the weather is normally like in any place.

Important latitude lines for climate zones

•The Equator, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the Arctic and Antarctic circles are the lines we use to divide the world into climate zones

Where are the climate zones?

Where are the climate zones?

•The Polar Zones: north of the Arctic Circle, south of the Antarctic Circle and are cold all year long

Where are the climate zones?

•The Temperate Zones: between the Arctic circle and the tropic of Cancer and the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn.

What are the climate zones like?

•The Temperate Zones have temperature that change depending on the season.

Where are the climate zones?

•The Tropic Zones: between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn and are hot all year long.

Why is this important?

•We need to know about climate zones because they change how people live in different places.

Jeopardy• We are going to play jeopardy today in class.

• How to play: I will give the answer two a question and you need to write the question I am asking

• Example: the slide will say: “This climate is cold all year around.” You will answer: “What is the Polar Zone?” On your white board.
