Understanding the Tundra Biome: Characteristics and Climate

The tundra biome is characterized by low temperatures, long winters, and a lack of tree growth, making it one of the coldest biomes on Earth. Spanning across regions such as Greenland, Eurasia, North America, parts of South America, and Antarctica, it features rolling plains with a unique layer of permafrost just below the surface. The tundra experiences significant seasonal changes due to its distance from the equator, resulting in dark winters and bright summers. This biome is one of the simplest yet most extreme environments on our planet.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Tundra By Sally, Henny, Ashley, Miranda

  2. Temperature • Low tempertures and long winters • Prevent tree’s from growing • Coldest of al biomes

  3. Where • A rolling plain • It spreads across Greenland, most of Eurasia and North America and the southern tip of South America and a part of Antarctica

  4. Changes • Region of great seasonal changes because of distance from equator • Winter is mostly dark and summer is mostly sunny

  5. Tundra • Permafrost- a thin layer of permanently frozen soil just below the surface. • This is the simplest biome
