Climate Zones: Low-Latitude Climates
affected by equatorial tropical air masses
![Page 11: Weather & Climate - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012420/6174a6628a56de772976e592/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Climate Zones: Mid-Latitude & Subtropical Climates
affected by two air masses: tropical air moving toward poles and
polar air masses moving toward equator

Climate Zones: High-Latitude Climates
dominated by polar and arctic air masses
