The temperature of different places around the world have a lot to do with an imaginary line around the
centre of our planet.
Do you know what this line is called?

This is the equator. In general, the closer a place is to this line around the middle of the Earth, the
warmer the temperature will be.

The further away from the equator, the colder the temperature will get.
Can you point out where you think a
polar bear might live? Clue: They live in the northern half of the
planet.

Polar bears live in the Arctic. The North Pole is in the Arctic.
The Arctic is one of the furthest places from the equator. This means that
it is very cold there! Perfect for polar bears!

Meerkats live in hot, dry places. They like to dig and burrow in sandy soil.
Where do you think meerkats should be on
this map. Use the equator line to help your
decision. Clue: Meerkats are only found in the wild on the
continent of Africa.

Meerkats are found in South Africa in the hot, sandy deserts.
This place is near the equator. The climate is much hotter than where
the polar bear lives.

Minke whales are found in cold waters in the southern half of the planet.
Where would you place them on this map?

Minke whales prefer the cold waters in the Southern Ocean.
This is far away from the equator and is therefore a colder temperature.

the middle.We can describe the
temperature in the places as temperate.
