The climate in the Northern part of Yemen can be divided into five areas or T zones. In the Tihamah on the Red Sea (sea level to 300m) the climate is tropical. The air is hot and humid in the summer and pleasantly warm in the winter. Dates and cotton grow well here, as do vegetables and grains, which are both a winter and summer crop. Further up the Western mountain slopes, in Zone 2 (300-2,200m), the climate becomes subtropical, then moderate. Fruit typical of this area are mangoes, papayas and bananas. The highest parts of the slopes have a moderate climate with rather cold winter nights. It is here that Yemen's most famous crop, coffee, is grown. The Central Highlands (2,200-3,700m) also have a moderate climate. All kinds of grain crops, such as sorghum, are grown on the mountain terraces. Many types of fruit are found here, including apricots, peaches and figs. In the more protected wadi beds, where there is also more water, apples, pears, oranges, lemons and grapes are grown. Yemen has more than twenty different types of grape, some seedless, each of a different colour. the On the Eastern mountain slopes subtropical. There is much less rainfall than in (2,300-1,100m), the climate again becomes the Highlands and farming takes place mostly in the wadis. In these wadis, which lead to the desert, grapes and some fruit trees can be found. In the lower areas close to the Ruba' Al Khali, there are date and palm trees. Further east in the yellow sands of the desert (1,000m), very little grows. For a short time after the rains, a little grass may appear. Apart from this and a few shrubs, there is no other vegetation.

Ο ne way of creating new words to borrow or take them from other languages. English has been taking words from Latin, Greek and French for hundreds of years. French, for example, has given us some very common words, such as table, dinner and medicine. But English has borrowed from many other languages also; the list is endless. Kayak, a kind of boat, and igloo, a house made of snow, come directly from the Eskimo language because these two objects are found only among the Eskimos, who live in the icy cold of the Arctic. Many years ago contact or meetings with Arab mathematicians brought the Arabic words algebra and zero into English. Trade with the Arab world has given English words like sugar, cotton and coffee. Another way of forming new words is to add a prefix or suffix to the stem of a word that already exists. The stem of a word is the part that is common to all forms of that word, such as walk, walk (ing), walk(ed). A prefix is a group of letters that goes in front of the stem. Some common examples of prefixes are re-(remake), un- (unhappy) and mis-(misunderstand). A suffix is added to the end of a word. Examples are-able (comfortable) and-less (careless). A prefix usually changes the meaning of a word. A suffix usually changes the word into a different part of speech. A third way of making new words is to combine or join together two different words to make another word. The words blue and berrycan be combined to get the word blueberry There are many berries that are blue in colour, but there is only one berry that is known as a blueberry. Other examples of words joined together are farmhouse, handbag and newspaper. Sometimes the combined word, which is called a compound, has a hyphen in it, as in air-conditioner. Sometimes it is written as two words, as in seat belt, cassette recorder and word processor. A fourth method of creating new words is to change the way a word is used. For example, a noun can be used as a verb, so that as well as buying some milk (noun) we can milk (verb) a cow. Other parts of speech can also be converted or changed. For example, an adjective can be used as a noun, as when a spare wheel is called a spare. Prepositions are sometimes used as verbs, as in to up the price which, of course, means to raise or increase the price.
