GEOGRAPHY

The frigid zone is the coldest area on the earth’s surface and is covered all year round with snow. The temperature varies from 3 degrees to 12 degrees in the summer.

The frigid zone is the coldest area on the earth’s surface and is covered all year round with snow. The temperature varies from 3 degrees to 12 degrees in the summer.

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. In the tropical zone, the average temperature in the coldest month is 18 °C.

The region lying between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole and between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole is called the Frigid Zone. It receives slanting rays of the sun and is therefore very cold.

The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles, lying within the polar circles.

HEAT ZONE LATITUDINAL EXTENT CLIMATE South Temperate Zone Tropic of Capricorn-Antarctic Circle 23 1/2oS to 66 1/2oS Moderate North Frigid Zone Arctic circle 66 1/2o to 90oN (North Pole) Coldest South Frigid Zone Antarctic Circle 66 1/2oS to 90oS(South Pole) Coldest

Heat zones are the different zones of the earth, where the sun’s rays fall differently, thus causing different climate patterns. These zones are called the Torrid Zone, the two Temperate Zones, and the two Frigid Zones. The Torrid Zone is very hot since the sun shines overhead here.

Heat zones are defined as the different zones of the earth, where the sun’s rays fall differently, hence causing different climate patterns.

What is the coldest place on Earth? It is a high ridge in Antarctica on the East Antarctic Plateau where temperatures in several hollows can dip below minus 133.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 92 degrees Celsius) on a clear winter night.

While the northern part of India lies in the temperate zone, the southern part of India lies in the torrid zone.
