This document discusses the important lines of latitude that divide the Earth into regions. It identifies the Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle as key parallels. The Earth is also divided into three heat zones: the Torrid Zone between the Tropics which receives maximum heat; the Temperate Zones between the Tropics and polar circles which have a moderate climate; and the Frigid Zones within the polar circles which provide less heat and are very cold. In conclusion, these lines of latitude are imaginary but help locate places and determine climate and time.

Time zones
The document discusses time zones and how they were established. It explains that in 1884, the Prime Meridian passing through Greenwich Observatory in London was adopted as the international standard meridian. The world was divided into 24 time zones, each corresponding to 15 degrees of longitude and 1 hour. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established as the universal day beginning at midnight on the Prime Meridian. This system allows different regions of the world to use coordinated time zones despite varying sunrise/sunset times due to the Earth's rotation.
Heat zones of the earth (2)
The document discusses the five major latitude regions of the Earth's surface divided based on climate: the North and South Frigid Zones, the North and South Temperate Zones, and the Torrid Zone. These zones were first theorized by ancient Greek philosophers and later refined over time as geographic knowledge improved. Today, the most commonly used climate classification system divides the world into five climate zones based on factors like average temperature and precipitation.
Major landforms of the earth
This document defines and describes different types of landforms including mountains, plateaus, and plains. It discusses how mountains can be formed through folding of the earth's crust, fracturing into blocks, or volcanic eruptions. Plateaus are raised flat lands that were once mountains that have been worn down over time. Plains are extensive flat lands that can be formed through structural processes like uplift and subsidence, deposition of sediments by rivers to form alluvial plains, or movement of glaciers to form glacial plains. The document provides examples and details on types of each landform.
Climatic zones
The document discusses the three main climatic zones of the Earth: the Tropical Zone, Temperate Zone, and Polar Zone. It provides examples of countries located in each zone and describes some of the key climate characteristics and seasons of each zone.

The Earth, Rotation and Revolution
The Earth has two movements: rotation and revolution. Rotation is the Earth spinning on its axis every 24 hours, causing day and night. Revolution is the Earth orbiting the Sun every 365 days, causing seasons and years. Due to these movements, different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight, influencing climate zones and seasons. The tilt of the Earth's axis and its position in orbit also affect the length of daylight and temperature changes throughout the year.
Major domains of the earth
The document discusses the four main life-supporting systems on Earth: lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It provides details on each system, including that the lithosphere comprises the solid rocks and minerals of the planet, the atmosphere is the gaseous envelope surrounding Earth, the hydrosphere covers the planet with water, and the biosphere is the total of all three spheres that supports life. It then goes on to describe the composition and key features of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
Antarctica

The document discusses time zones and the International Date Line. It provides background on how time zones were established in the late 19th century using 24 zones spaced 15 degrees apart. It describes how the International Date Line works, deviating in places to avoid land, so that dates change when traveling east or west across it. Examples are given of how the date changes when flying across the date line from the US to Japan and back.
WEATHER AND CLIMATE.pptx
This document discusses weather and climate. It defines weather as the daily atmospheric conditions of temperature, wind and precipitation at a particular place and time, while climate is the average weather conditions over a long period, typically 20-30 years. It notes that meteorologists study weather and climatologists study climate. Several factors that influence climate are also outlined, including latitude, altitude, distance from the sea, direction of winds, humidity and rainfall. Coastal areas tend to have more moderate and stable climates due to sea breezes.
Earths shape
The document provides evidence that Earth is spherical in shape. It discusses how ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle observed that ships appeared to sink below the horizon when viewed from shore, indicating the surface of Earth is curved. Additional evidence mentioned includes photographs of Earth from space showing its spherical shape, the round shadow cast on the moon during lunar eclipses, and the changing positions of celestial objects from different locations on Earth. The document seeks to explain how people were able to determine Earth was round over 2000 years ago based on observations of ships at sea.
polar climate region
Polar climate regions are found at the North and South poles and are characterized by long, cold winters with very little precipitation. They have average temperatures below 10°C year-round. Two main types are tundra climate, which has at least one month above 0°C, allowing some plants to grow, and ice cap climate, where no month rises above freezing and only ice exists. Locations include coastal Greenland with tundra climate and Antarctica which has a predominant ice cap climate. Fauna in the regions have adapted thick fur/feathers and ability to maintain body heat.
Realms of the earth
The document describes four major spheres of Earth - the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It provides details about each sphere, including that the atmosphere contains a mixture of gases surrounding Earth, the lithosphere forms Earth's thin crust, the hydrosphere includes the oceans covering 71% of the surface, and the biosphere is the realm where all living organisms exist in interaction with the other spheres.

The northern plains ppt
The northern plain of India is formed by the interplay of three major rivers - the Ganga, Indus, and Brahmaputra. During the Tertiary period, a sea called Tethys extended north and west. Due to the movement of tectonic plates, the Indian plate underthrust the Eurasian plate, causing folding of marine sediments from compressive forces. This created the Himalayas and left the northern plain as a foredeep filled with sediments eroded from the mountains. The three dominant rivers continue depositing alluvial soil, making the plain one of the most fertile regions and important agricultural areas in India.
The movements of the Earth
The Earth moves in two ways: by rotating on its axis daily, and by revolving around the Sun yearly. The Earth's tilted axis and oval-shaped orbit cause the seasons by changing the angle and duration of sunlight received in different parts of the world throughout the year. The rotation of the Earth causes day and night, and the revolution around the Sun in 365 days causes the four seasons as the Earth's positioning shifts solstices and equinoxes.
Geography 7
The document provides information about the Earth's structure and composition. It describes the four main layers from outermost to innermost - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thinnest layer and is composed of either continental or oceanic crust depending on its location. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which extends to a depth of 2,900 km. The outer core is made mostly of iron and nickel and the inner core has very high temperature and pressure.
Frigid zone
The document provides information about the Arctic and Antarctic regions, including:
1) The Arctic has multiple definitions based on location north of the Arctic Circle or 60° north latitude, while the Antarctic is defined as south of 60° south latitude or the continent of Antarctica.
2) Polar regions have a polar climate with extremely cold temperatures due to receiving less intense solar radiation and axial tilt of the Earth directing the least sunlight to the poles.
3) The midnight sun phenomenon causes the sun to remain visible at midnight during summer months in areas within and near the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
The frigid zones made by dhiren gohil for 5th grade
The document discusses the frigid zones of the Earth, which are located between the Arctic/Antarctic Circles and the North/South Poles. It describes the harsh climate with very cold winters below -40 degrees Celsius and short summers around 0-12 degrees Celsius. Plant life is limited to mosses, lichens, and berries in summer. Animal life includes reindeer, caribou, bears, foxes, and birds like snowy owls. Indigenous people like the Inuits live in igloos and hunt marine animals and caribou for survival in the difficult conditions.

1. introduction to_climatology
The document discusses key concepts in climatology including climate, weather, the Earth's rotation and revolution, and how they impact seasons and temperature zones. It describes how solar radiation reaches the Earth's surface and how the Earth maintains thermal balance by releasing heat through long wave radiation, evaporation and convection. It also discusses how atmospheric pressure belts and winds develop due to differential heating and how topography can influence local climate conditions.
Earth's physical geo part 1
The document discusses how the Earth moves in space and why seasons change. It explains that the Earth rotates on its axis over 24 hours, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun over the course of a year. The Earth's tilted axis and elliptical orbit cause the seasons, with regions facing the Sun more directly experiencing longer days and warmer temperatures. The document also describes the latitudinal zones of the tropics, temperate, and polar regions and how temperatures vary across these zones.
Principles of solar radiation
Solar energy can be harnessed using a range of technologies to capture and convert sunlight into useful forms of energy. There are two main types of solar energy technologies - passive solar, which uses sunlight without active solar components, and active solar, which uses electro-mechanical devices to convert sunlight into electricity or to power machinery. Solar energy can be used for heating, cooling, power generation, and other applications by using technologies like solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic panels. The amount of solar energy reaching the Earth's surface depends on geographic factors like latitude and weather conditions.
Solar system
- Mercury is the smallest planet and closest to the Sun. It has no moon and rotates slowly, taking 59 Earth days to complete a single rotation.
- Venus is similar in size to Earth and orbits the Sun every 224.7 Earth days. It has the hottest surface of any planet due to extreme greenhouse effect trapping heat.
- Mars is around half the size of Earth and has the largest dust storms in the Solar System. It has an extremely thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide.
solar mod.pptx
The document discusses solar energy and the sun's radiation spectrum. It can be summarized as follows:
1) The sun is a sphere of hot gaseous matter that maintains nuclear fusion reactions to generate high energy. It radiates this energy uniformly in all directions as electromagnetic waves.
2) The sun has a surface temperature of around 6000K and its maximum radiation occurs at a wavelength of 0.48 micrometers. In comparison, the Earth has a temperature of around 288K and its maximum radiation is at 10 micrometers.
3) Solar radiation that reaches the top of the Earth's atmosphere is known as extraterrestrial radiation. When it passes through the atmosphere, absorption and scattering occur and the radiation that
GPC_3.ppt
The document discusses several key topics related to global energy balance and climate:
1. It describes the greenhouse effect and how certain gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane trap heat in the lower atmosphere, warming the planet's surface.
2. It provides details on Earth's global energy budget, including that approximately 50% of solar radiation is absorbed at the surface, while 30% is reflected and 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere.
3. Seasons are explained by variations in the Earth's axial tilt and elliptical orbit around the Sun over the course of a year, causing changes in the intensity of sunlight received at different latitudes.
EVS-1-Global climate [Autosaved].pptx
Climate is defined as the average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time, while weather is the short-term atmospheric conditions in an area. The scientific study of climate is called climatology. Global climate is influenced by factors such as the quality and quantity of solar radiation, the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes seasons, and wind patterns. The movement of warm and cold air currents around the globe creates prevailing wind patterns like the trade winds and westerlies that influence regional climates.
Temperature zones
The document discusses factors that influence climate and defines three main temperature zones on Earth. The key factors are distance from the sea, wind direction, altitude, latitude, temperature, and rainfall. The three zones are the Torrid Zone between the Tropics which is hot and humid year-round, the Temperate Zone between the Tropics and polar circles which has distinct seasons, and the Frigid Zone near the poles which is extremely cold with snow and ice cover.
