Climate and Weather
16. Climate
16.1 Climate Zones, Global patterns
Explore Earth's Climate Zones and Global Patterns
You will discover how latitude, sunlight, ocean currents, and Earth's tilt create the diverse climate zones found across our planet.
What You'll Learn
You will identify Earth's three major climate zones by latitude.
Latitude controls sunlight angle and determines your region's climate.
You will explore rain shadows, ocean currents, and elevation effects.
Climate zones shape the biomes and ecosystems you can find.
What You'll Practice
1
You will identify climate zones using latitude and sunlight angle.
2
You will explain rain shadows, seasons, and ocean current effects.
3
You will distinguish weather from climate using real-world examples.
Why This Matters
Understanding climate zones helps you explain why different regions of Earth have such different environments, and prepares you to think critically about climate change and its global impact.
