Most of the people of the world live in one of the Temperate Zones, and most of the large cities are in these zones. People can work more easily outdoors in the Temperate Zone where there is neither intensely hot nor intensely cold weather. There are two Temperate Zones, the North Temperate Zone and the South Temperate Zone. Do you live in one of the Temperate Zones? If so, which do you live in?

Some plants grow best in the Temperate Zones, while others live best in the Torrid Zone. Scarcely any grow in the Frigid Zones. Name all the plants you can think of that live in the Temperate Zones. Many of these plants grow during the summer and rest or die when winter comes.

SOME PLANTS OF THE TEMPERATE ZONES:

Poplar

None of these plants can grow well in either the intense cold of the Frigid Zones or the great heat of the Torrid Zone.
