Question

Compare and contrast polar and desert habitat.(5 to 6 points with examples)

Answer 1

Answer:

Polar habitats are located at the very top and very bottom of the Earth.

.They are cold, windy and have a lot of snow and ice. It’s even too cold for trees to grow.

Animals who live in polar regions have adapted by having thick fur or feathers, and hunting fish or each other rather than relying on plants for food.

Tundra takes up a lot of the area of polar habitats.

The Arctic includes parts of eight countries – Canada, the United States, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and RussiaPolar habitats are located on the very top and very bottom of the Earth – the North Pole, which is called the Arctic, and the South Pole, which is the continent of Antarctica.eg-The Arctic includesCanada, the United States, Iceland,Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.etc

Explanation:

Deserts are places that don’t get much rain, and are very dry. They can be either hot places, or cold places.

Temperatures in hot deserts can be up to 40-45°C, and it cools down a lot at nights when the sun sets. It can even get as cold as 0°C at some times during the year. In cold deserts the average lowest temperatures can be well below 0°C.

the desert is a habitat for some plants and animals. Each species has adapted to be able to live in a range of temperatures and without much water.

One-third of the land on Earth is covered in deserts!

One of the largest cold deserts in the world (the Arctic deserts are the largest) is the Gobi Desert in China which is 1.3 million square kilometres.

eg-Desert landscapes can be found in South America, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the United States of America and Australia
