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.

Key Points

  1. Torrid Zone:Torrid means hot. This zone receives the maximum amount of heat throughout the year because the rays of the Sun fall vertically on this zone. - This zone is located between the Tropic of Cancer.
  2. The temperate zones lie in both the hemispheres. The North temperate zone lies in the northern hemisphere between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle. The south temperate zone lies in the southern hemisphere between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle.
  3. Frigid means cold. Beyond the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic, Circle temperatures are very low and the climate is very cold. This is due to the extreme slanting of the Sun's rays.

Hence, Torrid, South/North Temperate and The Frigid are the Heat zones of the earth.
