Chapter 39.2, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
What are the major climate regions of the world, on moving north and south from the equator?
Concept introduction:
The natural environment is composed of living and non-living things that are present naturally in nature. It consists of all the biotic and abiotic factors that together constitute the ecosystem.
