Slanting rays of sun on frigid zone
Frigid zone is the one of the heat or
climatic zones of the earth which lies in 66.5˚
and above latitudinal height towards south and north poles of the earth. On the
basis of the heat received from the Sun, earth is divided into 3 heat zones.
They are Frigid zone (66.5˚
and above South and North), temperate zone (23.5˚
to 66.5˚ South and North) and
torrid zone (0˚-23.5˚ South and North). Heat
zone is synonymously used as the climatic zone in geography.
The earth rotates in the direction of
east to west and along with the equatorial line. That’s why, places in equator
gets direct vertical heat of the sun and heat zone is also called torrid zone.
In torrid zone, temperature rises extremely and weather changes very frequently.
Similarly, in temperate heat zone climate remains warm, moist and damp causing
relief rainfall.
As Frigid zone (Southern and Northern
frigid zones) stretches from 66.5˚
latitude
up to 90˚ latitudinal height of
the earth, it lies in extreme south and North poles of the earth. So, when
earth orbits in the direction east to west putting vertical rays over equator,
slanting rays are spread over
