Heat-it is what makes Earth inhabitable. From the torrid tropics to the glacially cold polar regions, Earth experiences varying levels of heat on different parts of the globe. With different climates come species that have creatively used the natural temperature to their advantage. In this program, learn the factors that determine temperature, how changes in temperature affect different living things, how life on land adapted itself to vastly different habitats on our planet, and so much more!
