Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Tundra.
Key Points
- Among all the biomes, the tundra is the coldest.
- In addition, the tundra experiences little precipitation, which resembles a desert.
- Arctic tundra can be found in the areas immediately below the ice caps, and it can be found in Siberia in Asia, North America, and Europe.
- The tundra biome encompasses most of Alaska and roughly half of Canada.
- Several places throughout the world also have tundra on the summits of very tall mountains.
- With mean annual temperatures below 0°C during six to ten months of the year, tundra winters are protracted, dark, and cold.
- Permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, results from the area's extremely low temperatures.
- The tundra biome is distinguished by this permafrost.
- Only a few inches of the top layer of soil thaws during the tundra summers, giving vegetation roots a growth surface.
