Generation

Climate zones are large regions of Earth that share similar weather patterns, temperatures, and precipitation throughout the year. They're primarily determined by latitude (distance from the equator), which affects how much direct sunlight an area receives—tropical zones near the equator are hot year-round, polar zones near the poles are cold, and temperate zones in between experience seasonal changes. Other factors like elevation, distance from oceans, and wind patterns also influence local climates within these broader zones. Understanding climate zones helps explain why different plants, animals, and human societies developed distinct characteristics in different parts of the world.
