Step 1: Introduction to the terminologies

Tropical region- The region between 23.5 °N and 23.5 °S which receives maximum precipitation during a year is called a tropical region. 

Mesothermal region- 

mesothermal climate is similar to the temperate zone. It has moderate temperatures and the winters are not very cold. 

Microthermal climate- It is characterized by very cold winters and low evaporation. Europe, Asia and Northern latitudes of North America consist of this kind of climate. 

Polar regions- These are the regions where snow cover exists. These are the regions with latitudinal variation of 66.5°-90° N and S. 

Dry, semi arid- It receives moderate precipitation.
