24. Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following questions in one or two 2
words.
An area which has homogenous climatic characteristics and has geographic continuity is
known as climate regions. To create similar types of climate regions, various attempts have
been made by the scholars but there is no single perfect classification available. It is believed
that Greek philosopher, Aristotle, probably made the first attempt to classify Earth’s climate
on the basis of insolation. He divided the world into three thermal zones viz. torrid zone,
temperate zone and frigid zone.
(a) What type of climate is there in the polar region ?

(b) What type of climate is there in the equatorial region ?
