Explain Any 3. Types of land
Answers
Tundra
Tundra is a wide-open space of land that is the coldest of the biomes. The University of California's Museum of Paleontology has noted that tundras are known for "frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients and short growing seasons." This makes a tundra a very difficult place to live in due to its harsh weather conditions and poor food supplies. Arctic and alpine are the two types of tundras on earth. Alpine tundra refers to tundra located above the treeline, although it can have sparse vegetation of other kinds. Arctic tundras do have vegetation and can sometimes have rainfall.
Desert
Deserts fall into two categories: hot/dry and cold. Hot/dry deserts have sparse vegetation, and only animals that can adapt to living in extremely hot temperatures with minimal water can survive there. Most animals in a hot/dry desert must burrow to escape the tremendous heat, which can reach up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime. In cold desert climates, the temperatures are much cooler. Animals that live there must burrow to keep warm. Unlike hot/dry deserts, cold deserts have precipitation in the form of snow or rain. Temperatures drop to the low 30s (Fahrenheit) in the winter.
Grasslands
Grasslands are a type of land that has a number of different climates, animals and vegetation, depending on where in the world they are found. Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica and are usually located toward the interior of their continents. Grasslands contain trees, various types of grasses, flowers and herbs. Another name for grasslands is prairies. There are two types of grasslands: tall grass and short grass. Tall grasslands are typically humid and wet, while short grasslands are dry and hot.
