Introduction

Slytherin is a Hogwart house. The kids that are in Slytherin are William,Adalyn,Fernando,Dominic,Chi-Chi,and Dylan.S.

Introduction

Climate Zone

Climate Zones

Our model has latitude lines. 0 degrees is the equator, where the Tropical Zone is, 30 degrees South and North is where the Temperate Zone is, the second closest Zone to the equator. At 60 degrees South and North, is the Arctic/Polar Zone. It is the farthest zone from the equator. There is seven continents, and five oceans. The seven continents are North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Antarctica, Australia, and India. The five oceans are pacific ocean, atlantic ocean, indian ocean arctic ocean, and southern ocean.

The Tropical Zone

Parrot

-The tropical zone starts from the equator and goes to 30°N and 30°S.

-The climate conditions for the tropical zone is hot and humid, there is also a lot rain.

-In the tropical zone, it barely gets cold because its close to the equator and the sun shines directly on it.

-The average temperature for the tropical zone is 85°F and 30°C.

Tropical Zone

The Parrot

The parrot's adaptions to the tropical zone are its curved beaks helps it crack forest nuts, its feet help it balance on branches, they have this special oil on their wings that help them fly in the rain, and their wings help them fly away from predators.

Palm tree

Palm trees have adapted the the tropical zone by using their large roots to be stable in the wind, they are tall and above other trees so they can have access to the sunlight and air, the leaves are shaped like a fan so it makes it easy for wind to pass through.

The Temperate Zone

Temperate Zone

- Hot summers

- cold winters

- temperature is -3 degrees Celsius above and 18 degrees Celsius below 0

- some living things in the temperate zone are..

RED FOX

Red foxes hide under ground to keep warm during the winter and they store food.

Red Fox

The Maple Tree

- maple tree adaptions to the temperate zone are that it can grow in a cold, wet, dry, and hot weather.

-THE MAPLE TREE CAN ALSO have leaves that help capture a lot of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Arctic Zone

Arctic Zones

Facts about the arctic zone:

- ARCTIC ZONE DON'T have hot weather, instead, they have cold winters and cool summers.

-IN JANUARY the temperature range from about 29 to +32 °F. July'S TEMPERATURE Range from about 14 to 50 °F.

-ARCTIC ZONES experience extremes of solar radiation in both summer and winter.

-the arctic zone starts in 60 degrees north/ south and stops in 30 degrees north/ south.

The Arctic Fox

The Arctic Fox

-The arctic fox survives because of it's special skin that is called blubber, which is like a warm jacket that helps them survive.

-It also has a thick fur jacket to help it survive. The thick fur can be used as camouflage to hide from enemies.

-They have a generally rounded body to reduce body heat from escaping.

Calliergon

Giganteum

Calliergon Gigantuem

-The Calliergon Giganteum is a plant that survives in the Arctic Zone because it has a warming effect.

-It lives at the bottom of Tundra lakes.

The Affect from latitude

Affects on Latitude

The 0 degrees latitude, or the Equator, is where sunlight hits the Earth more directly than any other part on Earth. Places near the Equator get more sunlight and more humid conditions. Places near the Equator get average temperatures around 31 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, and 23 degrees Celsius at sunrise. But, places far from the equator get lower temperatures and colder climates.

Tropical

The Tropical Zone is the nearest to the Equator.

Arctic

The Arctic Zone is the furthest from the Equator.

How does elevation

affect climate?

-The temperature and climate relates to the elevation of the land form:

  • the higher you go the lower the temperature goes.
  • the lower you go the higher the temperature goes.

-The temperature goes lower, because there is lower pressure above you.

-The reason why the temperature goes higher the lower you go, is because there is higher pressure.

Elevation

Bodies of Water

Some bodies of water are lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans. Bodies of water are affected by the temperature in many different ways, here are a few...

-when the temperature is high, the water evaporates

Distance From Water

- High temperatures can dissolve minerals in the water and creates a lot more sand and salt

To sum it up: Conclusion

Conclusion

To conclude about climate, climate causes zones, and those 3 climate zones are the Tropical zone, the closest to the equator, the Temperate zone, the 2nd closest to the equator, and finally, the Arctic zone. The tropical is mostly humid and hot. The Temperate zone is mostly hot and a little less humid. The Arctic zone is cold and dry. Things that can cause climate is elevation, latitude, mountains, and bodies of waters. Elevation can cause climate, because there is lesser pressure when you go higher into the atmosphere, causing it to be colder. Mountains can cause mountain breezes. Mountains have two halves, and two different climates. One half may have a cold temperatures, and the other half can have hot temperatures. Latitude can also have affect on climate. 0 degrees South or North is the equator, where sunlight hits it more directly than any other place on Earth. This can cause humid and hot climate. The farther the place is from the equator, the colder the climate is.
