Zones of latitude Name:_________________________ Date:__________________________ 1. The areas between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are called the ( high / low ) latitudes. Temperatures there are always ( warm / cold ) have fairly ( direct / indirect ) sunlight all year. 2. The areas above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle are called the ( polar / temperate ) zones or the ( high / low ) latitudes. Temperatures in these regions are always ( warm / cold ) because the sunlight there is farily ( indirect / direct ) all year. 3. The areas between the high an low latitudes are called the ( temperate / tropical ) latitudes. These regions have (changing / constant ) seasons. 180°0'0" 150°0'0"W 120°0'0"W 90°0'0"W 60°0'0"W 30°0'0"W 0°0'0" 30°0'0"E 60°0'0"E 90°0'0"E 120°0'0"E 150°0'0"E 180°0'0" High latitudes (polar) 60°0'0"N 60°0'0"N Middle latitudes (temperate) 30°0'0"N 30°0'0"N 0°0'0" Low latitudes (tropical) 0°0'0" 30°0'0"S 30°0'0"S Middle latitudes (temperate) 60°0'0"S 60°0'0"S High latitudes (polar) 180°0'0" 150°0'0"W 120°0'0"W 90°0'0"W 60°0'0"W 30°0'0"W 0°0'0" 30°0'0"E 60°0'0"E 90°0'0"E 120°0'0"E 150°0'0"E 180°0'0" Key Circle the correct word in each pair to make the sentences true. 1.
