Climate Zone Classifier

In this worksheet, students read ten regional descriptions and classify each as Tropical, Temperate, or Polar. They use climate clues-such as rainfall amounts, temperature patterns, seasonal changes, and vegetation-to decide the correct climate zone. This activity strengthens students’ ability to interpret environmental descriptions and recognize global climate patterns. The “Climate Clues Challenge” reinforces critical thinking by asking students to identify the two clues that helped them determine each answer. This worksheet builds skills in reading comprehension, geography, and climate science.
