Climate zones

The weather changes in different parts of the world. Where there are similar weather patterns this is known as a climate. At the top of the Earth there is an arctic climate and some of the coldest temperatures in the world are found here. Temperate climates are found a bit further south, so as you approach the equator you find Mediterranean and desert climates. Some of the hottest places on Earth are found here, with few people living in this climate. The tropical climate at the equator gets gradually cooler the further south you travel before reaching the Antarctic.
