Detailed explanation-1: -The temperate zone is also called the temperature zone and it extends in both the hemispheres. It extends between 23.5 degrees and 66.5 degrees latitude in north and south latitude.

Detailed explanation-2: -Frigid zone: The region extending between 661/2° latitudes and the Poles in both the hemispheres is known as the Frigid zone. It stretches from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole in the northern hemisphere and from the Antarctic Circle to the South Pole in the southern hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The region between 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South latitudes is called tropical zone, because it lies between the lines of the tropics. This region is the hottest, since it receives direct and focussed sunlight thoughout the year.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mid-Latitude Region can be broadly defined as part of the northern hemisphere between 30°–60° latitude. Mid-Latitude of the Northern hemisphere encompasses about 36 countries of the principal regions ranging from East Asia, Central Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Western Europe and some parts of North America.
