Le fasce climatiche
Resumen
TLDRLatitude, the distance from the equator, significantly influences climate by affecting solar rays' inclination and resulting in temperature variations. Climate zones include the torrid (intertropical) zone near the equator, the temperate zones, and the polar zones. The torrid zone is characterized by a tropical climate with a single hot season. As one moves towards the tropics, rainfall decreases leading to an arid climate. Temperate zones have mild climates with four seasons, average temperatures below 20°C, and regular rainfall. Polar zones, located near the poles, are extremely cold year-round with maximum temperatures just above zero, experiencing long and short cold seasons, six months of light and darkness, and permanent ice preventing vegetation growth.

Latitude, the distance from the equator, significantly impacts climate as it affects solar ray inclination and temperature variations. Based on latitude, climates are classified into torrid, temperate, and polar zones. The torrid zone, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, near the equator, experiences a tropical climate with one hot season, decreasing rainfall, and becoming arid towards the tropics. Temperate zones, between the tropics and polar circles, have four seasons with mild climates, average temperatures below 20°C, and regular rainfall. Polar zones near the poles have harsh climates with temperatures often below zero, featuring two main seasons: a long, cold one and a short, mild one, with ice and little vegetation due to extreme light and darkness periods.

Vídeo de preguntas y respuestas
What is the main factor influencing climate formation?
Latitude is the main factor influencing climate formation.
What are the different climate zones based on latitude?
The climate zones are the torrid (or intertropical) zone, temperate zones, and polar zones.
What characterizes the torrid zone near the equator?
It is characterized by a tropical climate with a single hot season.
How does the climate change as you move away from the equator?
As you move towards the tropics, rainfall decreases and the climate becomes arid.
What are the characteristics of temperate zones?
Temperate zones experience four seasons, have mild climates with average temperatures below 20 degrees, and regular rainfall.
How do temperatures change in polar zones?
Polar zones have very cold temperatures throughout the year with maximum values just above zero.
What are the seasons like in polar zones?
Polar zones have one long cold season with temperatures below minus 30 degrees, and a short season with maximum temperatures of 10 degrees.
What unique conditions exist in polar zones?
Polar zones experience six months of light and six months of darkness, and have permanent ice which prevents vegetation growth.
