What are the Three general regions of latitude?

Three climate regions based on latitude are low latitude, medium latitude, and high latitude. Low latitude is the hottest area in the earth. It is called the low latitudes because it is near the Equator which is 0 degrees. It only gets as high as 23.5 degrees north or south. It is sometimes referred to as the earth's band. It is in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is hot all year. Medium latitudes are the in between regions of the world. It is called the middle latitudes because it is in between the high and low latitudes and has middle latitude degrees. They have four seasons and have both hot and cold weather. They range from the Tropic of Cancer to the North Pole and the Tropic of Capricorn to the South Pole. It is called the high latitudes because it has the highest latitudes of up to 90 degrees north or south The high latitudes range from The North Pole and up to the South Pole and lower.


What are the regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes called?

The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes are called the horse latitudes. These areas are known for their calm, variable winds and were historically nicknamed as such because ships would get stuck in these windless zones and have to lighten their loads by throwing horses overboard.

Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?

"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
