Climate Zone Map

If you missed class today here’s what you need to know.

A. Create your climate zone map:

1. Draw dashed lines at the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

2. Draw dashed lines at the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle.

3. Color:

  •                  YELLOW- tropic to tropic
  •                  GREEN- tropic line to 60 degrees in each hemisphere (not to the circles)
  •                  BLUE- 60 degrees to the Poles in each hemisphere

4. Create a key:

  •                 YELLOW= Low/Tropic Zone
  •                 GREEN= Mid/ Temperate Zone
  •                 BLUE= High/Polar Zone

B. Use your map to complete the HW. Find the location of the coordinates given using RA2 and RA3. Write the country and the climate zone on your paper. 

** Do not worry about finishing the coloring… you may finish tomorrow or over the weekend if needed**
