what countries belong to the tropical zone, temperate zone and frigid zone?

Question

all countries found in these zones pls.!

Answer 1

(I) DEFINITION:

(1) Temperate Zone. The geographical areas
in which mean annual temperatures are between + 30°F
and + 70°F as identified by isothermal lines.

(2) Frigid Zone. The geographical areas in
which mean annual temperatures are lower than + 30°F
as identified by isothermal lines.

(3) Tropical Zone. The geographical areas in
which mean annual temperatures are higher than + 70°F
as identified by isothermal lines.


(4) Desert Zone. The geographical areas
which are arid and without vegetation.

(II) LOCATION:

(A)The following website deals extensibly with temperate zones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_zone


SOME EXCERPTS:

“Temperate Zone: In geography, temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. The changes in these regions between summer and winter are generally subtle, warm or cool, rather than extreme, burning hot or freezing cold. However, a temperate climate can have very unpredictable weather. One day it may be sunny, the next it may be raining, and after that it may be cloudy. These erratic weather patterns occur in summer as well as winter.

The north temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Cancer at about 23.5 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Circle at about 66.5 degrees north latitude. The south temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Capricorn at about 23.5 degrees south latitude to the Antarctic Circle at about 66.5 degrees south latitude. Within these borders there are many individual climate types, which are generally grouped into two categories: continental and maritime.

The maritime climate is clearly affected by the oceans, which help to sustain somewhat stable temperatures throughout the year. In the temperate zones, the prevailing winds are from the west, the western edge of temperate continents most commonly experience this maritime climate. Such regions include Western Europe, especially the UK, and western North America at latitudes between 40° and 60° north (65°N in Europe).

The continental climate is usually situated inland, with warmer summers and colder winters. The large land mass increases its effects on heat reception and loss. In North America, the Rocky Mountains act as a climate barrier to the maritime air blowing from the west, creating a continental climate to the east. In Europe, the maritime climate is able to stabilize temperatures further inland, because the major mountain range - the Alps - is oriented east-west.

(B)The following website deals extensibly with frigid zones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigid_zone



SOME EXCERPTS:

“Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known as frigid zones. The North Pole and South Pole being the centers, these regions are dominated by the polar ice caps, resting respectively on the Arctic Ocean and the continent of Antarctica.”

(C)The following website deals extensibly with tropical zones


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_zone


SOME EXCERPTS:

“This area includes all the areas of the Earth where the sun reaches a point directly overhead at least once during the solar year. (In the temperate zones, north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun never reaches an angle of 90° or directly overhead.) The word "tropics" comes from Greek tropos meaning "turn", because the apparent position of the Sun oscillates between the two tropics with a period that defines the average length of a year..”

Answer 2

Define Tropical Zone

Answer 3

The countries lying between the tropic of cancer(23.5 degrees N) and tropic of capricon(23.5 degrees S) are in the tropical zone.
The countries lying between tropic of cancer and Article circle (66.5 degrees N) in the Northern Hemisphere and those lying between tropic of capricon and Antarctic circle(66.5 degrees S) in the Southern Hemisphere are in theTemperate Zone.
The countries beyond Arctic circle towards North pole in the Northern Hemisphere and beyond Antarctic circle towards South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere are in the Frigid Zone.
I cannot give the names of each and every country which are in the above three zones as there are more than 200 countries in the world.Moreover as the boundry of a particular country may not coincide with the above latitude division ,some may lie on both adjacent divisions.
