"High" latitudes.
The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes.
The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high".
The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".

What do you notice about the relationship between latitudes and low temperatures?
equator latitude 0 is hot arctic and antarctic high latiitude it is cold
What are the regions called between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle or the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle?
They are called the middle latitudes, and include mostly regions with temperate climates.
What is Polar regions?
The north and south polar regions are the same size. They are defined by the Arctic and Antarctic Circles respectively. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude. The Antarctic and Arctic Circles are the points at sea level at which the sun does not appear over the horizon at the respective Winter Solstices.
How does biodiversity change with latitude and area?
There is maximum diversity at equator and minimum at poles , areas also change with change of latitudes .
Do lines of latitude have names?
There are five named latitudes: * The Arctic Circle, * The Tropic of Cancer, * The equator, * The Tropic of Capricorn and * The Antarctic Circle.
Which polar region is bigger north or south?

What latitude is the tundra found?
The tundra is typically found within the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are located at around 66.5 degrees North and South latitudes, respectively.
What contains the Arctic and Antarctic circle?
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
What is the area between the Arctic the Antarctic circle and the tropics?
Mid-latitudes
What is the Arctic and Antarctica?
The Arctic and the Antarctic are the Earth's Polar regions. The Arctic is a floating ice sheet, Antactica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km. with an Ice Sheet consisting of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice. The polar regions are defined as - The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude. The Antarctic is about 30 degrees colder than the Arctic, because of there being a continent there.
