Polar
approximately 23.5 degrees to 66.5 degrees latitude both north and south of the equator. Rainfall occurs year-round closer to the equator. Average temperatures range from 41 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit yearly.

Temperate
from the Tropic of Capricorn, located at 23.5 degrees south latitude, to the Tropic of Cancer, located at 23.5 degrees north latitude. emperatures remain above 64 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Temperatures, during the day, can exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ozone layer protects us from harmful ______ rays that come from the sun.
The ozone layer protects us from harmful ______ rays that come from the sun.
UV
What is the greenhouse effect?
What is the greenhouse effect?
UV rays come into the atmosphere and get trapped by gases in the atmosphere. It heats up the planet like a greenhouse or a blanket. Without this our planet would not be warm enough for life.
The ozone hole refers to an area on Earth where the ozone layer is thinner than other places. Where is the ozone hole the greatest on Earth?

The North and South Poles
What is one reason why the North and South Pole ice sheets have started melting at rapid rates?
What is one reason why the North and South Pole ice sheets have started melting at rapid rates?
Since the ozone layer is thinner in these areas, more UV heat is let into our Atmosphere and our overall temperatures rise.
What layer of the atmosphere is the Ozone Layer found? a.troposphere b.stratosphere c.thermosphere d.mesosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is the Ozone Layer found? a.troposphere b.stratosphere c.thermosphere d.mesosphere
b. The stratosphere...the 2nd layer from Earth's surface
What is the main difference between climate and weather?
What is the main difference between climate and weather?
Weather are the conditions of the atmosphere in a short amount of time while Climate are the conditions in the atmosphere over long-periods of time in a specific area.
