About heat zones of India

1. Heat Zones of the
Earth
Good afternoon everyone ,my name Priyanshi Negi.
I am here to tell you the topic- Heat Zones of he
Earth.

2. What are Heat Zones ?
Heat zones are the different zones of the earth, where
the sun's rays fall differently, thus causing different
climate patterns.
 There are three types of Heat zones –
1) Torrid Zone
2) Temperate Zone
3) Frigid Zone

3. Torrid Zone
The mid-day sun is exactly overhead at least once a
year on all the latitudes in between the tropics. This
area receives of the maximum heat, called Torrid zone .

4. Temperate Zone
The mid-day sun never shines over any latitude beyond the
Tropics. The angle of the sun’s rays goes on decreasing
towards the poles . As such, the areas bounded by the
tropic of cancer and the Arctic Circle in the NH and Tropic
of Capricorn and Antarctic Circle in the SH have moderate
temperature, called Temperate Zone .

5. Frigid Zone
 Area lying between the arctic circle and the North
pole in the Northern Hemisphere and the Antarctic
Circle in the Southern Hemisphere are very cold. It is
because here the sun is not rise much above he
horizon. So it’s rays are always slanting and provide
less heat, called Frigid Zone.

6. Info Bite
oSome main Latitudes also lie in on the heat Zones , They
are-
i. Arctic Circle
ii. Tropic of Cancer
iii. Equator
iv. Tropic of Capricorn
v. Antarctic Circle
