                    1. The Torrid Zone : On both sides of the equator, the region lying between the Tropic of cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is called the Torrid zone. This zone gets the direct rays of the sun all the year round. Hence the climate is hot and humid.<\/p>\n

                    2. The Temperature Zone : This zone is neither hot nor very cold. It lies between the Torrid zone and Frigid zone in both the hemispheres.<\/p>\n

                    3. The Frigid Zone : The region lying between the Arctic circle and North pole and between Antarctic circle and south pole is called the frigid zone. It receives very slanting rays of the sun and is therefore very cold.<\/p>\n
