Tundra+Home

 
= = =  Welcome to //Tundra//, By John and Emily! =  == Tundra is a treeless area that is located between the ice cap and the tree line. There are very few to no trees due to the short growing season. Arctic tundra can be found in much of Alaska, half of Canada. It can also be found in Siberia, which is northern Russia and around the edges of Greenland. Alpine tundra is found at the tops of high mountains. This can be found around the world. Rocky Mountain National Park is an example of this. Alpine tundra the two main differences between arctic and alpine tundra are the locations and the drainage, alpine tundra is well drained while arctic tundra is not well drained. == ==      The tundra biome has only two seasons, summer and winter. In summer the temperature ranges from 3-12 degrees Celsius, which allows for various life to exist. In winter the average temperature is -34 degrees Celsius, making the tundra the coldest of the biomes. There is low precipitation in the tundra area. This makes it very similar to a desert. In summer the average precipitation is 7.4 centimeters. In the winter the average precipitation is 3.6 centimeters. ==  <span style="COLOR: #142961; FONT-FAMILY: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif"><span style="COLOR: #283c6c; FONT-FAMILY: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">Click here for Biomes Home.
