Name three heat zones of the Earth? 

Answer: The three heat zones of the earth are the Temperate Zones, the Frigid Zones, and the Torrid Zone. 

Note: The Temperate Zone, the Torrid Zone, and Frigid Zone. These three are the heat zones of the earth.

Heat zones are the earth’s various zones, where the all-over rays of the sun fall differently, therefore generating various climate patterns. Apart from this, these heat zones are also known as the two Temperate Zones, the Torrid Zone, and the two Frigid Zones.

The Torrid Zone is extremely hot, so it is also named the hottest heat zone on the earth. Due to the overheating of the heat zones, the sun shines overhead here. It spreads on both sides (North or south pole) of the equator.

The heat zones are bounded by the Tropic of Capricorn and Cancer. It lies among 23 degrees ½ minute North and 23 degrees ½ minute South latitudes.

Temperate Zone

The Temperature zone surrounds the zones of Earth that are located between the polar zones and tropical zones. Moreover, the temperate zone is once in a while also known as the mid-latitudes because they exist approximately between 30 and 60 degrees in the north and south latitudes.

Torrid Zone

The Torrid Zone is also known as a tropical. It is located just closer to the Equator. It spread to the Tropic of Capricorn in the south and the Tropic of Cancer in the north. 

Frigid Zone

The Frigid Zone is also known as the Antarctic and the Arctic. It lies just closer to the north and the south poles.
