8. 1. THE POLAR ZONES are the regions of the
Earth that surround its geographical poles,
lying within the polar circles
9. 2. Temperature zones refer to different regions on
Earth where the rays of the Sun fall differently,
leading to distinct climate patterns
10. 3. The tropical zone, also known as the
tropics or torrid zone, is a region of Earth
that lies roughly in the middle of the
globe between the latitude lines of the
Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn

13. Do all of these countries have the same climate?
Group the countries with the same climate.
Why do they have similar climate?
Why do they differ from the other group of countries?
Where in the world are they located?
What do we call these particular parts of the world?
What kind of climate is experienced in these parts of the
world?
How does latitude of a place affect the climate of a place?
14. The PHILIPPINES is located in the areas
between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of
Capricorn, just slightly above the equator.
Because of this, the Philippines’ climate is
described as “tropical” which means that
the temperature remains relatively
constant (hot) throughout the year.
In tropical climates there are often only
two seasons: a wet/rainy season and a
dry/hot season.
15. The closer the latitude is to the
equator, the warmer the climate.
The closer the latitude to the poles,
the colder the climate.
There is a relationship between the
latitude of a place and the climate it
experiences.
