What is latitudinal zonation?

Latitudinal zonation refers to the distinct ecological and climatic patterns observed as one moves along different latitudes on Earth. This concept highlights how temperature, precipitation, and biodiversity vary from the equator to the poles, resulting in diverse biomes such as tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and tundras. Each zone supports unique flora and fauna adapted to the specific environmental conditions found there, influencing ecosystems and human activities.
