HEAT ZONES OF THE EARTH

  • The mid-day sun is exactly overhead at least once a year on all latitudes in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This area, therefore, receives the maximum heat and is called the Torrid Zone.

TEMPERATE ZONES.

  • The angle of the sun’s rays goes on decreasing towards the poles.
  • The areas bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere, have moderate temperatures. These are, therefore, called Temperate Zones.

FRIGID ZONES

  • Areas lying between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere and the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere, are very cold.
  • Sun rays are always slanting and provide less heat. These are, therefore, called Frigid Zones (very cold).

LONGITUDE

  • Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. 
  • Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles.
  • They are measured in ‘degrees of longitude.’
  • Each degree is further divided into minutes, and minutes into seconds.

PRIME MERIDIAN.

  • All countries decided that the count should begin from the meridian which passed through Greenwich, where the British Royal Observatory is located. This meridian is called the Prime Meridian.

RECAP QUESTION

  1. Why Heat zones are categorized, when there is the same Earth and the same sun?
  2. Do you find the difference in shadow in the morning, noon and evening? Which gives more heat? Why?
  3. There are total_____________ longitudes.
  4. Find the location of your place using Latitudes and Longitudes.

Experiential Learning for Students

  • 1) Make a collage using different colour strips to differentiate the different heat zones.

​

  • 2) Study the atlas and find out the location of five different places of your choice with reference to latitudes and longitudes.
