Tundra Climate
 
The tundra biome is an ecosystem situated near the North Pole
in the Arctic Circle. It is by far the coldest of all biomes. The
winters are extremely cold with temperatures typically below -
34° C. The summers last only about two months and the
temperatures are still very cold ranging from 3° to 12° C. This
biome still sustains life although it encounters these extreme
temperatures. Some animals, insects, and even plants thrive
there. Yearly precipitation, including melting snow, is 150 to
250 mm. The arctic tundra biome ranges from 300 to 11,079
feet in elevation.
 
Important Charicteristics
 
Major source of water
1,700 species of plants grow during growing season
48 species of animals
The tundra is a beautiful place
(There is not many good things about this biome)
 
Animals
 
Polar Bear
Penguin
arctic foxes
snowy owls
pocket gophers
grizzly bears
 
Animal Adaptations
 
polar bears  have a thick layer of fur and blubber to help them adapt to the cold
tundra temperature
penguins have webbed feet helping them travel over 15 mph and feathers to
keep them warm
most animals that live in the tundra have blubber or thick skin to help them
adapt to the freezing temperatures

Plants From The Tundra
 
arctic moss and the pasque flower are plants from the tundra  biome along with
tufted saxifrage & diamond leaf willow
 
Plant Adaptations
 
Most plants in the tundra have developed the ability to grow under a layer of
snow, to carry out  photosynthesis in extremely cold temperatures, and to
produce flowers quickly once summer begins. A small plant structure is another
physical adaptation that helps  plants survive.
