The diagram shows differences in temperature zones between tropical mountains and temperate mountains Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram reveals information about

temperature

zones in tropical

mountains

and temperate

mountains

.

Overall

, the tropical part is divided into 6 different zones,

while

temperature

mountains

consist of 4 sections. The first stage of the tropical

mountains

is a warm zone which is suitable for many tropical crops.

This

sector has the smallest height. The second

temperature

zone is used for coffee and cocoa plants. It is spread from 500 to 1500 m. The third cool area is possible for grain cultivation at a height between 1500 and 3000 m. Forests are located from 3000 to 4000 metres. The alpine meadows extend up to 4500 metres until permanent snow. The biggest part of

temperature

mountains

is a cool section where grows general cultivation spread from 0 to 5000 metres. The part that limits broad-leaf trees is the forest.

Then

it is shown that the snow line is separated into two zones, alpine meadows and

last

one a permanent snow area.
