Human Environment Interactions - The Tropical and Subtropical Region Class 7 PPT

 Page 2


Introduction
Humans live in almost all parts of the world, from dry 
deserts and frozen lands to hot wet forests and large grasslands.
They share the same basic needs of food, shelter, 
and clothing, and everyone shares some basic human behavior.
Some people live close to nature and some live far from it. 
Some have to hunt and gather food or grow crops while others buy 
food.
The most fertile regions in the world are the tropical and the sub-
tropical regions.
This picture shows the people from different parts of the world.

What is a Tropical Region?
The tropics are regions of the Earth that lie roughly in the middle of the 
globe. The tropics between the latitude lines of the Tropic of Cancer 
and the Tropic of Capricorn. The tropics include the Equator and parts 
of North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Here is the answer!
We have learnt 
about Tropical 
Regions but what 
are subtropical 
regions?
The subtropics are geographic and 
climate zones located roughly 
between the Tropic of Cancer and 
Tropic of Capricorn and the 40th 
parallel in both hemispheres. 
Subtropical climate regions can exist 
at high elevations within the tropics, 
such as across the Mexican Plateau
and in Vietnam and Taiwan
