Regions that lie exclusively in the temperate zone include the continental U.S., most of Canada and Europe, Central Asia, southern South America and southern Australia.

Temperate climates cycle through all four seasons—winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Much of the United States is in a temperate climate zone. Polar climates are usually cold and dry most of the year. Antarctica is in a polar climate zone.

The temperate zones refer to either of the two regions of the intermediate latitudes of the Earth, that is, the south temperate zones, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctica Circle, and the north temperate zones, between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer.

The two areas that are in temperate zone area the circle tropic of cancer or the norther tropic and equator tropic of Capricorn or the southern tropic. These two zones is positioned where the sun can be directly overhead. The two areas that have coldest climates are the arctic circle and antarctic circle.

There are approximately five main climate types on Earth:

• Tropical.
• Dry.
• Temperate.
• Continental.
• Polar.

Scientists classify, or group, climates into five major climate zones. These zones classify climates by average temperature and precipitation. They are tropical, dry, temperate, cold, and polar.

The Earth has three main climate zones: tropical, temperate, and polar. The climate region near the equator with warm air masses is known as tropical.

There are differences in climate around the world because of differing amounts of radiation received from the Sun at different parts of the Earth at different times of the year. More heat from the Sun is received near the equator than near the north and south poles where the angle of the Sun’s rays is lower.

Latitude and Temperature At higher latitudes, the Sun’s rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the Equator, the lower its temperature. At the poles, the Sun’s rays are least direct. Much of the area is covered with ice and snow, which reflect a lot of sunlight.

1 : a region of the earth having specified climatic conditions His physician advised moving to a warmer climate. 2a : the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation a healthful climate a warm, humid climate.

noun. the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. a region or area characterized by a given climate: to move to a warm climate.

The climate of any place depends on the following factors:

• Latitude. The amount of solar energy received varies according to latitude due to the curvature of the earth.
• Altitude.
• Pressure and wind system.
• Distance from the sea.

Introduction: Climate is determined by the temperature and precipitation characteristics of a region over time. The temperature characteristics of a region are influenced by natural factors such as latitude, elevation, and the presence of ocean currents.
