Answer Key
I. Read the questions carefully and select the correct answer.
1. c. moderate
2. d. at a high altitude
3. a. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• This zone lies between Tropic of • This zone lies between the Arctic
Cancer(23½°N) and Arctic Circle(66½°N) and North
Circle(66½°N) in the Northern Pole(90°N) in the Northern
Hemisphere and Tropic of Hemisphere and Antarctic
Capricorn(23½°S) and Antarctic Circle(66½°S) and South

• This zone receives slanting rays of • The zone receives very slanting
the sun so the climate here is rays of the sun and hence it is
neither hot nor very cold. extremely cold here.
IV. Answer the following question in detail.
1. How does the direction of winds affect the temperature and rainfall of a place?
• The winds blowing over from regions which are hot tend to increase the temperature of a
place. Similarly, winds coming from regions which are cold tend to decrease the
temperature of a place. The winds blowing from the sea towards the land carry a lot of
moisture with them.
• This makes the weather humid and causes rainfall.
• Places near the sea receive more rains than the places that are farther away.
2. Draw and label the three heat zones.
