class, we watched a film explaining the wonders of the tundra biome. Tundra refers to the treeless plains that are most commonly characteristic of the cold environment of arctic and sub-arctic regions. They make up 1/5, or 20%, of the Earth’s surface. The word tundra originated and derived from the Finnish word "Tunturia" which means 'treeless heights,' which applies perfectly to tundra and its lack of large trees. When one refers to the tundra biome, they thinks about the characteristics of location

Tundra is in northern parts of the earth and is also a wide range land. The Tundra can be found far away from the equator at high latitudes or on top of mountains at high altitudes. The latitude range from 75° N to 60° N. Furthermore, the tundra is in the North at the peak of the earth close to the North Pole. The average winter temperature is -34° C in tundra, but the average summer temperature is what hinders this biome to have a sustainable life. However, the rainfall may vary in different regions

of biome and that is tundra. Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. Tundra is separated into two

The word tundra is derived from the Finnish word, ‘tunturia,’ which means barren or treeless land. Tundra is a unique environment because of its exclusively northern location, and its harsh, cold climate. It is the habitat of limited flora and fauna, all of which have adapted to these harsh, cold conditions in major ways. Tundra is a delicately balanced environment that is heavily affected by global warming and many human impacts, such as development and urbanisation. Location Tundra is located

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

The tundra is by far the coldest type of biome, as it is known for its low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Occurring primarily near the Arctic within the Northern Hemisphere, the soil may be frozen all year up to a few feet, which allows no tree growth. However, a few animals have adapted to these conditions. These animals include lemmings, hares, oxen, foxes, wolves, and more. Within the tundra biome there are two different types of tundra biomes, arctic

modern organism I would live in the Tundra. The reasons behind this: it is cold, it doesn’t become that hot, and summer is very long. I would really have to be careful in an environment like the Tundra, because I can get ill very easily. I would have to buy food in summer, and eat plants such as bearberries to keep from getting ill and shrubs. I would also eat other organisms that live in the Tundra. First, let me describe what the Tundra is. The tundra is the coldest of all biomes. It comes

Toyota strives to market their full size Tundra pickup truck as a tough machine that: “makes other trucks piss their floor mats.”(google search, Tundra ads) In a North American demographic that is dominated by domestic companies, such as Ford and Chevrolet, Toyota adopts several techniques to remain competitive. Using phrases in advertisements like “Tundra, Japanese for hiking”(google search, Tundra ads) : suggest that this truck symbolizes a strong, and adventurous lifestyle. This language relates

protected land in the world. It encompasses areas of Alaska and Northwestern Canada. The area was initially set aside by President Eisenhower in 1960, because of the area’s value to the environment. What with it being part of the shrinking tundra, and the only protected tundra in the United States. However, despite the environmental significance of the ANWR to the surrounding areas, parts of the United States’ government would like to drill for oil in this important area. According to a study by the Gallup

Biomes Introduction All biomes have a special features that make them all interesting. A biome is a naturally recurring place, like the desert or the rainforest. Desert -The desert biome is a huge biome. It covers ⅕ of the Earth’s surface. There is two main types of desert biome- the hot and the cold. The rainfall is very low- 8-13 centimetres per annum. The plants are minimal because it is always hard to find and store water and it is a very tough environment
