Jhoan Esteban Martínez Escobar presents information on Colombia's five thermal floors defined by altitude and temperature ranges: the warm floor below 1,000m where bananas and cocoa are grown, the temperate floor from 1,000-2,000m suitable for coffee and cattle, the cold floor from 2,000-3,000m producing wheat and potatoes, the páramo floor from 3,000-4,000m home to fraileyons and condors, and the glacier floor above 4,000m where temperatures are below freezing.

Good morning my name is Jhoan Esteban Martínez Escobar, Today I talk to you about termal floors.
In Colombia, we find the so-called thermal floors.
These can be defined as zones where the height above sea level affects the temperature. There are a different thermal floor every 1,000 meters above sea level. There are 5 thermal floors in Colombia which are warm, temperate, cold, paramo, and glacial. Warm floor the temperatures are usually above 24° C 24 degrees Celsius . It is characterized by altitudes from 0 meters (0 feet) to 1,000 meters. In this area we find products such as: Bananas, cocoa, Orange, corn, cotton, coconuts and sugar cane. Temperate floor The temperate floor includes areas between 1,000 meters and 2,000 meters above sea level. The temperature in these areas is also high, ranging from 24 °C to 18 °C. In this area we find products such as: pinapools, coffe and cattle raising Cold floor This floor is characterized by an altitude of 2,000 meters to 3,000 meters above sea level. The temperature in these areas are between 18 °C and 12 °C. In this area we find products such as: wheat, potatoes, sheep, eucalyptus and curubas Páramo floor This floor includes areas between 3,000 meters and 4,000 meters above sea level. The temperature in these areas fluctuates between 12 °C and 0° C . In this area we find: fraileyons and and some animals like the Andean condor Glacier floor This floor is found in areas higher than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level. The temperature in these areas is below 0 °C (32 °F). In this area we do not find agricultural products.
