Climate Regions: Climate regions refer to areas of the Earth that share similar climate characteristics, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. Examples of climate regions include tropical rainforest, desert, tundra, and Mediterranean.

Climate Zones: Climate zones refer to the divisions of the Earth's surface based on latitude and the resulting climate patterns. The Earth is divided into three main climate zones: tropical, temperate, and polar. Within these zones, there are further subdivisions based on variations in temperature and precipitation.

Coordinates: Coordinates are a set of values that define a specific location on the Earth's surface. They typically consist of latitude and longitude measurements. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.

Global Grid: The global grid refers to the system used to divide the Earth's surface into a mesh of latitude and longitude lines. It is used to determine the precise location of any point on the Earth's surface. The global grid is formed by the intersection of latitude circles (parallels) and longitude lines (meridians).

Hemispheres: The Earth is divided into hemispheres based on its axis of rotation. The hemisphere refers to half of the Earth, either the northern or southern half (divided by the Equator) or the eastern or western half (divided by the Prime Meridian). The four hemispheres are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere.
