How is the life of people in frigid zone-now?

Answer 1

"Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known as frigid zones".

-there are two frigid zones ,they are on Either of two regions of the Earth of extreme latitude, the North Frigid Zone, extending north of the Arctic Circle, and the South Frigid Zone, extending south of the Antarctic Circle.

Asia, North America and northern Mexico. The South Temperate Zone includes southern Australia, New Zealand, southern South America and South Africa.

The two Frigid Zones, or polar regions, experience the midnight sun and the polar night for part of the year - the edge of the zone experiences one day at the solstice when the Sun doesn't rise or set for 24 hours, while in the centre of the zone (the pole), the day is literally one year long, with six months of daylight and six months of night. The Frigid Zones are the coldest parts of the earth, and are covered with ice and snow. The North Frigid Zone (the Arctic) includes northern Canada and Alaska, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, northern Russia, and the Arctic ice. The South Frigid Zone (The Antarctic) is filled by the continent of Antarctica; the next closest mainland is the southern tip of Chile and Argentina, followed by New Zealand.

Answer 2

Life in the frigid zones today is challenging due to extreme cold temperatures, limited daylight hours, and harsh weather conditions. People living in these areas typically rely on specialized clothing, housing, and infrastructure to cope with the environment. Modern technology has made life more manageable in terms of transportation, communication, and access to resources, but it still requires resilience and adaptation to thrive in such unforgiving conditions.

Answer 3

FRIGID ZONE

In one of the first attempts at climate classification, the ancient Greek scholar Aristotle hypothesized that the earth was divided into three types of climatic zones, each based on distance from the equator. Though we know that Aristotle's theory was vastly oversimplified, it unfortunately persists to this day. Believing that the area near the equator was too hot for habitation, Aristotle dubbed the region from the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°) in the north, through the equator (0°), to the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°) in the south as the "Torrid Zone." Despite Aristotle's beliefs, great civilizations arose in the Torrid Zone, such as those in Latin America, India, and Southeast Asia.

Aristotle reasoned that the area north of the Arctic Circle (66.5° north) and south of the Antarctic Circle (66.5° south) was permanently frozen. He called this uninhabitable zone the "Frigid Zone." We know that areas north of the Arctic Circle are indeed habitable. For instance, the world's largest city north of the Arctic Circle, Murmansk, Russia, is home to almost half a million people. Due to months without sunlight, residents of the city live under artificial sunlight but yet the city still lies in the Frigid Zone.

The only area that Aristotle believed was habitable and capable of allowing human civilization to flourish was the "Temperate Zone." The two Temperate Zones were suggested to lie between the Tropics and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Aristotle's belief that the Temperate Zone was the most habitable likely came from the fact that he lived in that zone.

Since Aristotle's time, others have attempted to classify regions of the earth based on climate and probably the most successful classification was that of German climatologist Wladimir Koppen. Koppen's multiple-category classifcation system has been slightly modified since his final classifcation in 1936 but it is still the classification used most frequently and most widely accepted today.
