The Hudson Bay/Arctic Lowlands

Arctic tundra can be found circling the North Pole and reaching far enough south to reach the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic tundra is most known for its cold, dessert-like conditions. It experiences

The tundra, which comes from the Finnish word, tunturi, which means treeless, is the coldest terrestrial biome known to biologists (University of California Museum of Paleontology). Located in the northern hemisphere, between 55° and 70° North, the Tundra covers about 20% of Earth’s surface (S). Although tundras can be found in many of the continents, most notably, the Northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland Tundra and the Scandinavian Montane Birch forest and grasslands stand out the most (Gardella). They are all large tourists attractions disply nature’s ability to thrive in the harshest environments. Winters in the tundra have an average temperature of -30° F, due to its high altitude. However, the average temperatures in the tundra during

Life in the North is different from the South because transportation was very different from what it is lie in the North. Like In the South they were transported by trains and steamboats. And in the North they transported things and people by steamboat, Buses, biking, and walking. The economy in the South was more rural and the North is more suburban.

The tundra is one of the cooldest land biomes on the planet. Due to the high winds and the permafrost there are no trees becuase it dosent allow the growth of deep roots. All the producers and othe need to get adapted to the cold temperatures, little sun and short growing season to stay alive. The tundra is considered a poor enviroment thats low in resources. The dead minerals get recycled by othe decomposers like the slime molds, fungi, and bacteria. Rain increases photosynthesis and decomposition. Air pollution kills lichen in the cold tundra. The warmer climates allow trees to invade the shade out the small tundra plants. And warmer temperatures can increase decompositon, while releasing more CO2 into the air causing mor global

Another geographic zone in Canada is the St.Lawrence Lowlands. The St. Lawrence Lowland is one of the smallest geographic zones found in Canada, only sizing in 180,000 kilometers squared. This Geographic zone can be found in Quebec and southern Ontario or the most southern region Canada. St.Lawrence Lowlands are composed of flat lands. The flat lands of the St.Lawrence Lowlands contain rich soil well suited for agriculture. The overall climate in St.Lawrence Lowlands is warm. Toronto and Montreal is located within this region, which means about 50% of Canada’s population lives here. Also the St.Lawrence Lowlands is home to the largest manufacturing industry, about 70% is located there. Also large amount of hydro-electricity is produced there

There are many ways to define Northern Ontario, however, I believe the most accurate geological definition of Northern Ontario was defined by the Ontario Census Division. Northern Ontario encompasses over a large percentage of provincial landmass, stretching from Parry Sound, north to the shores of Hudson Bay, west to the border of Manitoba and east to the border of Quebec (Map Two). Most of Northern Ontario is situated on the Canadian Shield which is characterized by a vast rocky plateau and lakes. In the video “Nine Rivers”, four men on a canoeing trip heading north to Hudson’s Bay, captured the beauty of Northern Ontario. They described the waterways that ranged from small creeks to massive bodies of moving water as an era of great

What is the federal government’s strategy to support its claims to sovereignty in the high Arctic?

Chesterfield Inlet and Wager Bay are located in northwestern Hudson Bay within the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut (63°20'N 90°40'W and 65°08'N 87°56'W, respectively). The region is best described as continental-arctic with short cool summers and long cold winters with minimal precipitation (Dufresne, 2013). Average summer temperatures can reach up to 20ºC, while average winter temperatures range from -30ºC to -35ºC. Sea ice forms by December and breaks up by mid-June (Dufresne, 2013). However, ice in Wager Bay according to Canadian Parks Service (1977), can last longer than that of Chesterfield Inlet. The average depths encountered during the sampling program at both Wager Bay was 217 m and Chesterfield inlet was 42 m.

The tundra is an ecosystem that has consumers, decomposer, food chain and producers so that is the stuff that I know about tundra ecosystem so let's get started with The tundra ecosystem facts about the tundra ecosystem.

The boime I’m going to do my report on is the tundra. The tundra is located near the north and south poles of the Earth. Two examples are the top of Russia and Greenland, but there are many more. It is an cold and barren place. Places that have civilization have a couple towns every now and then but, most of it is large plains of snow.

Antarctica is not techanicaly in the arctic circle but is considered tundra because of how harsh the cold tempatures are.

Average annual temperatures in Tundra areas, lies at around -28º C, because of its latitude. Tundra regions receive less sunlight/insulation, and is further away from the equator (where 0˙ is the warmest surface on earth). There are two types of Tundras: the Arctic Tundra and the Alpine Tundra. Alpine areas are normally found in mountains, and the Arctic Tundra are generally found on ground level. The average temperature in Arctic Tundras ranges from -12º to 6ºC and the Alpine average temperature is -56ºC. Annual precipitation in Arctic tundras including rain coming from melting snow measures 15cm to 25cm. This can sometimes create temporary ponds. Moreover, annual precipitation in Alpine Regions is 30cm. Tundra biomes only have two seasons

The Tundra is a frozen desert. The Tundra is treeless regions in the mountains and they are probably the harshest biomes on earth. It only receives around 10 inches of rain per per year, The average temperature is -30 degrees fahrenheit in winter and in summer it is usually 8 degrees fahrenheit. It is winter for around 305 days a year and is sumer for around 60 days a year. In winter temperatures are usually below zero and the land is covered in a thick layer of ice. In summer the sun shines 24 hours a day so the ice melts and wildflowers and small shrubs pop out. Tundras are usually located in the 60-75 latitude lines and are mainly found along the coasts of the arctic ocean. In the tundra there is no trees, but they’re is small shrubs, bushes, wildflowers, lichen, moss and grass that barely survive in the cold

It contains an expanse of tundra with many marshes and lagoons with rivers situated between foothills of the Brooks Range and the wide, icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. Environmentalists said that this area “is the most biologically productive part of the Arctic Refuge for wildlife and is the center if wildlife activity.” The importance of these resources is not measurable. The Arctic is home to such animals as caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, whales, wolves and snow geese. This area is full of wildflowers and contains water of excellent, unpolluted quality and quantity. The Arctic Ocean costal plain is an area critical to the survival of many birds and mammals (‘Alaska Wild’).

First, let me describe what the Tundra is. The tundra is the coldest of all biomes. It comes from the word tunturia. There are two different kinds: Arctic and Alpine. I would live in the Arctic. Both tundras are settled at 55˚ to 70˚ north. The annual temperature is -20° in winter, and 45˚ through 50˚ in summer. I would have
