THE EARTH’S CLIMATE ZONES
CLIMATE: the pattern of weather of a place over many years
TEMPERATE ZONE: Found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle (Northern Hemisphere) and between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle (Southern Hemisphere)
POLAR ZONE: An area north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle
TROPICAL ZONE: Area between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer
PRECIPITATION: the falling of moisture such as rain and snow

CLIMATEGeographers divide earth into
climate zones
Each zone has a different pattern of precipitation and temperature
This pattern is shown on a climagraph
Bars show monthly precipitation
Curved line shows temperature per month

POPULATION DENSITYUse textbook page 34-35
Answer, in complete sentences, in class notes:
1. What is population density?
2. How does a geographer calculate the density of a place?
3. How does population density affect how people live?
4. List the 5 categories for population density and list at least two cities that fit into each category using the maps around the room.

POPULATION DENSITYWhat is it?
A measure that tells us how crowded a place is
Higher number= more crowded the place is!
