What area is 66 degrees North or South to 90 degrees North or South?
Those are the polar zones.
What is the term for the region 23 degrees north of the equator and south of the equator?
The area between those is known as the tropics.
If the earth is tilted at 23 degrees relative to the sun then shouldn't the hottest point on the planet be 23 degrees north or south of the equator?
The area between 23 degrees north and 23 degrees south is called the "Tropics", and it _IS_ the warmest part of the Earth. Good call.
Which climatic zone extends to about 60 north latitude and 60 south latitude?
The regions between about 23.5 degrees to 60 degrees, north and south, are often called the "temperate" zones. From 23.5S to 23.5N are the "tropics", the area between the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer.
What is the name of the area between the north pole and the northern timberline?
The South Pole is located on Antarctica, so the area immediately north of the South Pole bears this continent's name. North of 60 degrees S, you can find the Sub-Antarctic Islands.
What is the area between 23.5 degrees north and south including the equator It is very warm or hot all year?
Yes: It's the Tropics, the area is called The Tropical Zone.
Which area on the earth is the tropics?
The Tropics are the bands of the Earth located between the Tropic of Cancer at 32 degrees 26 minutes north latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn at 32 degrees, 26 minutes south latitude.
Which line of latitude never experiences the sun 90 degrees overhead?
Any latitude above 23.5 degrees north or south will never experience the Sun as being directly overhead. We call these lines the Tropic of Cancer to the north, or the Tropic of Capricorn to the south. The area between the two lines are called "the tropics".
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"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 is the world place between 5 degrees north and 115 degrees east?
"5 degrees north" defines a circle, all the way around the globe and 5 degreesnorth of the equator at every point, passing near Bogota, Colombia."115 degrees east" defines a half circle, between the north and south poles andpassing near Wuhan China, Hong Kong, and Perth Australia.There is no area "between" these imaginary lines. They cross at a point just off ofBrunei, on the north coast of Borneo in Indonesia.
What is area extending from 66.5 to 90 degrees north and 66.5 to 90 degrees south latitude?
Those are the two "Frigid Zones" or "Polar regions".
What is at 30 degrees north 105 degrees east?
That point is in south-central China, in a forested area about 73 miles southeast of the center of Chengdu.
