This term, we have been learning some new vocabulary and applying this to the knowledge we already have of the equator and hemispheres of the Earth. We have been able to identify the different climate zones of the planet: polar, temperate, arid, Mediterranean, tropical and mountainous. Then we used this knowledge to identify different biomes (large ecosystems) within these climate zones, e.g. desert, tundra and rainforests. Today we focused on the mountainous areas of the world and how to locate these in our atlases.
