The world is divided into differant climate zones based on similar weather patterns.The weather patterns in a climate zone affect the types of vegetation and animals found there. For example,roses could never survive at the South Pole, which has an icecap climate. It is too cold there. Penguins could never survive in a region with arid climate. It is very dry there with very hot summers. At a result, places that have similar climates also have similar types of vegetation and animals.
