Climate zones
There are different climatic zones around the world which are controlled by many
geographical factors. If you live near an ocean or a large lake, the weather will often
be warmer and wetter than dry, inland areas. If you live in a mountainous area, your
climate is probably cooler and more extreme than an area at sea level. Read on to
learn about the climate zone you live in.
Polar climates occur in the polar regions, e.g. the Arctic or Alaska,
and in the highest mountains. Here, the temperature can be as low as
-40°C. Because it is always snowy and icy, the ground is always frozen.
