THE TUNDRA by https://padlet.com/marcvidalortega/eo945cgds578 The coldest biome in the world en-us 2017-04-03 14:07:23 UTC 2024-08-12 00:02:23 UTC hello@padlet.com ANIMALS apecero100 https://padlet.com/marcvidalortega/eo945cgds578/wish/164344842 The animals that live in the tundra have adapted by having extra layers of fat and long fur.
Some animals emigrate at other sites and others hibernate for the long winters.
There are a lot of types of animals:
  • The hervivores are lemmigs, caribou, squirrels.
  • The carnivores are artic foxes, wolves, polar bear.
  • The insects are mosquitos, flies, moth, bees.
  • And final the birds that emmigrates when arrive the winter that's are ravens, falcons, loons.

Trees do not grow in the Tundra. In summer, it's he only season that the plants grow in Tundra. This season is about 50 or 60 days when there is also lots of surface water. Plants adapt in Tundra by grouping together to survive the strong winds and cold temperatures. Plants in Tundra include low shurbs, flowers, lichens, sedges, mosses, grasses and liverworts.

In the winter months the sun barely rises and it is dark for most of the day. Summers and winter are the Tundra's 2 main seasons. 
There is also a lot of permafrost, ice that never goes away in the ground.
Absolutely the trees can't grow here because of the elevation being so high.
Rainfall in many arctic regions totals six to ten inches a year.]]> 2017-04-03 14:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marcvidalortega/eo945cgds578/wish/164359196 ANIMALS ADAPTATION IN THE TUNDRA BIOME apecero100 https://padlet.com/marcvidalortega/eo945cgds578/wish/164369584 Animals have many adaptation to survive. Migration and hibernation are examples of  adaptations used by animals in the Artic tundra. There are many animals that don't live all year in the tundra that means they leave or migrate for a long time to warmer climates.

Hibernation is a combination of behavioral and physical adaptations. For example, during the summer the brown bear's behavior is to eat just about anything it can find.

The permanently frozen ground in the Tundra is called the permafrost, the Tundra is cold all year. Summer is very brief with milder temperatures when the sun shines wich is almost 24 hours a day. The Tundra has been called "the land of the midnight sun". One fifth of the Earth is a Tundra biome.

  • They grow close together, low to the ground and they remain small.
  • Many plants in the biome have a wax type of fuzzy, hairy coating on them which helps to shield them from the cold and the wind. This coating helps them to retain heat and moisture and it protects the plants seeds.
  • Plants found here will typically have small leaves which helps the plants to retain moisture. 
The most of plants in the Tundra are perenials and don't die off in the winter.
