Climate Zones

The video tutorial explains the concept of climate, distinguishing it from weather by defining climate as the average atmospheric conditions over a long period. It describes the world's division into distinct climate zones: tropical, temperate, dry, cold, and polar, each with unique climates, vegetation, and wildlife. The polar regions are noted for high pressure and dry winds, while the tropical zone is hot and humid year-round. The video highlights how climate shapes the planet's biodiversity and habitats, from frozen poles to hot deserts and temperate grasslands.
