What are fossil fuels
400
These zones are in between the polar and tropical zones.
What is the temperate zone
500
El Nino and La Nina are caused by changes in ocean surface currents and prevailing winds.
What is how El Nino and La Nina are created

This climate region stretches across northern Alaska, Canada, and Russia.
What is the tundra climate
500
Cars, power plants, and factories.
What are most common ways we use fossil fuels
500
Tropical zones are warm all the time, polar zones are cold all the time, and temperate have warm summers and mild winters.
