The document defines climatic regions as large areas that have similar climates. It describes five main climatic regions: the equatorial region near the equator which is very hot; the tropical region between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn; the desert region outside the tropics from 20-30 degrees latitude; the temperate region between the tropics and polar circles in both hemispheres; and the polar regions north of the Arctic Circle which have short summers and long winters.

2. WHAT IS “CLIMATIC
REGION”?

3. CLIMATE REGION
THE EARTH IS DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT ZONES. THESE ZONES
REPRESENT DIFFERENT CLIMATE REGIONS. A CLIMATIC REGION
CAN BE DEFINED AS A LARGE AREA WHERE SIMILAR TYPE OF
CLIMATE IS FOUND. SOME OF THE CLIMATE REGIONS OF THE
EARTH.

4. Equatorial or Hot climatic
region.
THE REGION LIES BETWEEN 5 LATITUDES ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE EQUATOR I.E FROM 5N TO 5S. THE SUN RAYS FALL
DIRECTLY ON THIS REGION, HENCE THE TEMPERATURE IS VERY
HIGH

5. The Tropical climate region
THE TROPICAL REGION LIES BETWEEN THE TROPIC OF CANCER
IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AND TROPIC OF CAPRICORN
IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. THIS AREA COVERS THE
LAND AROUND AND EITHER SIDE OF THE EQUATOR

6. Desert climate region
THIS CLIMATE REGION JUST LIES TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE
TROPICS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 NORTH AND SOUTH OF
EQUATOR . THIS REGION IS VERY HOT AND DRY

7. The temperate climate
region
THIS AREA LIES BETWEEN THE TROPIC OF CANCER AND
AFRICA CIRCLE IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE ,AND
BETWEEN THE TROPIC OF CAPRICORN AND THE ANTARTICA
CIRCLE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

8. The polar climate region
THE REGION THAT LIES TO THE NORTH OF ARCTIC CIRCLE IS
THE POLAR REGION. THIS IS SO CALLED BECAUSE IT IS NEAR
THE NORTH POLE.

9. NOW YOU KNOW
1. THE EARTH IS DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT ZONE.
2. THESE ZONES REPRESENT DIFFERENT CLIMATE REGIONS.
3. THE REGION LIES BETWEEN 5 degree LATITUDE ON BOTH SIDE OF EQUATOR.
4. THE TROPICAL REGION COVERS THE LAND AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE
EQUATOR.
5. IN POLAR REGION , SUMMERS ARE SHORT AND WINTERS ARE LONG.
