How many zones are there in the world
The world is sometimes divided into five zones according to latitude. The tropical, or Torrid Zone, lies near the Equator and extends to the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. The north and south frigid zones (also known as the Arctic and the Antarctic) lie near the poles.
