Answer 2

Answer:

a. sparse precipitation and extreme cold temperatures

Tundra is known for its sparse precipitation and extreme cold temperatures.

Explanation:

Extreme cold temperatures and little precipitation are characteristics of the tundra. Of all the biomes, tundra is the coldest.  Tundra, which means treeless plain in Finnish, is the root of the word tundra. It is renowned for its landscapes that have been shaped by frost, extremely low temperatures, limited precipitation, insufficient nutrients, and brief growth seasons. Arctic tundra is a large area of level or undulating ground devoid of trees that is typically found north of the Arctic Circle or above the timberline on tall mountains (alpine tundra). Large expanses of bare ground and rock as well as patchy mantles of low flora including mosses, lichens, herbs, and small shrubs are characteristics of tundra. There is a small yet distinct diversity of animals that live on this surface. The Tundra, as the Finns' treeless northern regions were known, was a special natural zone, but the idea of a vast frozen plain was not.
