because of many things‚ including temperature‚ rainfall‚ location‚ and altitude. Tundra and Tropical Rainforest are two contrasting biomes‚ different in many ways. First of all‚ location. Tundra is located in the coldest parts of the world‚ like the most northern parts of America (i.e. Alaska) and Greenland. Alpine tundra can be found in places of high altitude‚ like the top of a mountain or similar. Tundra covers about 20% of the world’s surface‚ yet only 4 million people live there. That

Outline the relationship between climate and one or more biomes. Arctic tundra is a biome characterized by cold weather and low growing plants and shrubs and virtually no trees. They are found mainly in regions just below the Arctic ice caps‚ located at latitudes 55o to 70o North‚ across North America‚ Europe‚ Alaska‚ Canada and Siberia. They cover 20% of the earth’s surface. The summer season is short‚ where there are brief periods when the sun shines for almost 24 hours a day and temperatures

Delgado‚ Karina Professor Tuscano NR 2 TTH AM 27 January 2015 Tundra Biomes In the world there are about twelve biomes. The major biomes include deserts‚ forests‚ grasslands‚ tundra and several aquatic environments. A biome is large geographical area with special plants and animal groups and they are adapted to that type of environment. The Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the many biomes. It is separated into two types which are the arctic and alpine. The following information was gathered

TUNDRA CLIMATE The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless‚ frozen landscapes. There are two types of tundra‚ the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra . ARCTIC TUNDRA The arctic tundra is located in the extreme northern hemisphere around the North Pole. This area experiences low amounts of precipitation and extremely cold temperatures for most of the year. The arctic tundra typically receives less than 10 inches of precipitation per year (mostly in the form of

should stop drilling for oil in the Alaskan Tundra or if they should carry on drilling in it. History of the Alaskan Oil Industry Prudhoe Bay is frozen for most of the year so transporting oil by ship is impossible. Following the discovery of the Alaskan Prudhoe Bay oil field in 1968‚ pipeline designers faced the challenge of building a pipeline to carry 1.6 million barrels per day of oil across 800 miles ice‚ snow covered mountains and frozen Tundra. The risk of accidents and spillages is very
