receives from the Sun. There are different climate zones:
• One hot zone
• Two temperate zones
• Two cold zones
HOT ZONE

5. CLIMATES IN HOT ZONES
• HOT CLIMATES
RAINFOREST
These places have high
temperatures all year and it
rains a lot.
Animals: Parrots.
SAVANNAH
Further away from Equator it
rains less so there is less
vegetation.
Animals: Antelope
DESERT
Very little rain so there is
little vegetation.
Animals: Scorpion

6. CLIMATES IN TEMPERATE ZONES
• TEMPERATE CLIMATES: Between hot zones and cold zones.
These climates vary: in some places it rains a lot, in others it rains only a little.
FOREST GRASSLANDS
Animals: squirrel Animals: Zebra

7. CLIMATES IN COLD ZONES
• COLD CLIMATES: Near the North and the South Poles.
It is cold all year. It rains very little, it is mainly snow.
