Answer 2

Answer:

The tundra is located at the top of the world, near the North Pole. This enormous biome, extremely uniform in appearance, covers a fifth of the earth's surface. The most distinctive characteristic of tundra soil is its permafrost, a permanently frozen layer of ground.

The tundra climate is a transitional climate between the Subarctic and Ice cap climates. ... Polar climates like the tundra are characterized by very cold temperatures and generally dry conditions. Temperatures never rise above 10o C (50oF) during the summer.

Parts of the U.S. state of Alaska and the countries of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Russia are all in the Arctic tundra biome.

Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is cold and windy, and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are covered with snow for much of the year, but summer brings bursts of wildflowers.
