What is a biome?
A biome is a area of land that has plants and
animals that only grow in that area because of
the climate.
The Tundra
The tundra is a area that is mainly cold all year. There
is not a lot of rain in the tundra. There is only about
10 inches of precipitation a year! The coldest it gets
is -60 degrees F. the warmest is 50 degrees F. The
average temperature is 10 to 20 degrees F. No trees
grow except the summer tundra. The soil is often
frozen. The tundra is located around the north pole.
The animals are musk ox, polar bear, caribou, arctic
fox, arctic wolf, norway lemming, penguin, willow
