Hi, my first project is Biome, a biome is a land

 

l that has similar climates and weather,

there are 9 terresterial biomes in this world,

and 2 aquatic biomes.

TUNDRA BIOME

 

 

 I'm doing about the tundra biome, tundra is one of the major terresterial

there are 3 types of

tundra; arctic tundra; antarctic tundra; alpine tundra, all the tundras locate at a high altitude

or an area far from the equator, north of the taiga belt. The arctic and antarctic tundra

is an area that is very dry and the ground always covered with permafrost, the alpine

tundra lacks air, also it doesnt have permafrost and area like these has

very high UV wavelength, animals must have extra large lungs and more

blood cell. Tundras have a cold - polar climate.
