There are different vegetative patterns throughout the world. the vegetation that can grow is influenced by the amount of heat received. the differences in heat give rise to zones.

The differences in heat give rise to three different zones, Torrid, Temperature, and Frigid Zone.

There are major five types of vegetative patterns in the world these are forest, grassland, Tundra desert and Ice sheet. In these regions, different types of vegetation are grown.

The growth of vegetation depends on the amount of heat received. The difference in heat gives rise to major 3 zones. These zones are:

1. Torrid zone- this zone lies between 0 degrees to 23 half a degree north and south to the equator. The sun shines exactly overhead at the places near the equator and in the tropics. Therefore the equatorial and tropical regions receive maximum insolation.

2. Temperate zone- this zone lies between 23 half a degree to 66 half degrees north and south of the equator. This zone experiences the slanting rays of the sun. Due to the spherical shape of the earth, the amount of insolation received by this region is less.

3. Frigid zone- this zone is located between 66 half degree and 90 degrees north and south to the equator. This zone experiences extremely slanting rays of the sun over a large distance. Hence the amount of insolation received is very less.
