The low latitude zone of globe extends between ___________.
Tropic of Capricorn and Cancer
North pole to South pole
Tropic of Capricorn and equator
Equator and Tropic of Cancer
Option A
The five main latitude regions of Earth's surface comprise geographical zones, divided by the major circles of latitude. The differences between them relate to climate. They are as follows:
Earth's climatic zones Ice cap Tundra Boreal Warm temperate Subtropical Tropical
On the basis of latitudinal extent, the globe is divided into three broad heat zone
The Torrid is also known as the Tropics. The zone is bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn; these latitudes mark the northern and southern extremes in which the sun seasonally passes directly overhead. This happens annually, but in the region between, the sun passes overhead twice a year.
In the Northern Hemisphere, in the sun's apparent northward migration after the March equinox, it passes overhead once, then after the June solstice, at which time it reaches the Tropic of Cancer, it passes over again on its apparent southward journey. After the September equinox the sun passes into the Southern Hemisphere. It then passes similarly over the southern tropical regions until it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn at the December solstice, and back again as it returns northwards to the Equator.
