World Biomes

Delve into the tundra biome, characterized by its unique climate and landforms. Temperatures remain stable, ranging from 20°F in winter to 30°F in summer, with minimal precipitation, primarily as snow. Discover the fascinating landforms, including pingos, frost boils, and polygons, which shape the landscape. The tundra is home to diverse insects and iconic animals like polar bears, arctic foxes, and caribou, all adapted to survive the harsh conditions. Learn about the significance of this biome, found mainly in Canada, Greenland, and parts of Europe and Asia.

  1. World Biomes Tundra By: Julia and Kodee

  2. Temperatures • Temperatures don’t range far apart in the winter to summer months. • The temperatures never go over 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit • The winter temperatures are always around 20 degrees Fahrenheit • Summer temperatures range from 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. Rainfall • Happens mostly during the winter. • Gets 25 cm (10 in) of precipitation per year. • Gets mostly snow and sleet.

  4. POLYGONS • Landforms that make up most of the Tundra are: mountains, valleys, ice sheets, frozen waterfalls, and lakes • Three unique ones are: pingos, frost boils, and polygons • Pingos are dome shaped mounds consisting of a layer of soil over a large core of ice. • Frost boils also known as frost scars are up wellings of mud that occur through permafrost heave and cryoturbation • Polygons are just what they sound like – they form from the freeze thaw cycle- they are pieces of ground shaped like polygons PINGOS FROST BOILS POLYGONS

  5. Insects • 6 insects live here • mosquitos • moths • butterflies • flies • artic bumble bees • northern grasshoppers • Artic bumble bees (BomboisPolaris) • Northern grasshoppers (Melanoplus borealis borealis) • Both adapted to weather.
