Hello!!  and welcome back dear children, the summer holidays are over and now we are back to studying, a little differently this time. Sadly, we won’t get to see each other in person which is why I have created a virtual classroom. The next few slides you see are what I have personally designed for our Geography Class.

 I am also introducing my new avatar. 

The blackboard will hold explanations and important announcements.

The computer will have a link to a video on youtube. 

Let’s make learning fun

Topic: Major Temperature zones of the Earth

​

In our last lesson, we learned that Climate is the average weather condition of an area over a long period. 

The computer has a video click the link to play.

​

Why do different places of earth have different climates?

​Let's Recall

​The shape of the earth special is responsible for the uneven distribution of heat and the world.

​

Different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight or heat energy. This is because of two reasons: the tilt in the Earth’s axis and the curved surface of the Earth. If the Earth were flat and axis straight, all paces on the Earth would have got the same amount of sunlight. The amount of heat a place receives from the sun determines how hot or cold it is.

​

​The regions near the equator receive direct rays from the sun therefore those areas are hotter.

Earth​

​

The Earth can be divided into three different zones based on the amount of heat received from the sun.

​

The Earth is divided into three heat zones.

Torrid Zone

Temperate Zone 

Frigid Zone
