1. Across Northern Alaska
2. Canada
3. Siberia
The general climate in the tundra is very cold. The average temperature is 10-20 degrees fahrenheit. During the summer it does get a bit warmer, but not super hot. Rain in the tundra is also very little, it rains less than 10 inches per year. 
Landforms on the tundra are known for water and hills. There is plenty of water there, and low hills.]]> 2018-03-08 21:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/239932743 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/239940518 Three different types of plants that live in the tundra are:
1. Arctic Moss
2. Bearberry
3. Arctic Willow
Plants can live in the arctic tundra by growing under a layer of snow. They grow under a layer of snow so they are able to go through photosynthesis in cold weather, and so they can produce flowers once summer comes. Plants also grow together and close to the ground so they can survive in the cold weathers of the tundra.]]> 2018-03-08 22:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/239940518 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240679921 Three different types of animals that live in the tundra are:
1. Arctic Wolf
2. Brown Bear
3. Muskox
Animals can live in the arctic tundra by hibernating, growing two layers of fur, and by migrating when it gets too cold for them to be there. When they hibernate they eat lots of food during the summer and then they sleep during the winter. The two layers of fur protect the animal from water and from wind.]]> 2018-03-12 03:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240679921 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240681068 Mutualism is one of the three symbiotic relationships that the tundra has. One example of mutualism in the tundra in lichen. Lichen looks like moss, but it's actually a relationship between fungus and algae. The fungus is fed sugars by the algae and the algae is protected by the fungus.]]> 2018-03-12 03:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240681068 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240681540 Parasitism is another symbiotic relationship in the tundra. An example of parasitism is the liver tapeworm cyst. The liver tapeworm cysts are commonly involved with moose, wolves, and caribou.]]> 2018-03-12 03:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240681540 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240682121 The last symbiotic relationship in the tundra is commensalism. An example of commensalism is the the arctic fox and caribou. The fox follows the caribou removes the snow to get the lichens under the dirt. The fox then hunts the animals that have been discovered by the caribou.]]> 2018-03-12 03:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240682121 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240687419 One predator - prey relationship that is in the tundra is the wolf and the caribou. The wolf hunts down the caribou for energy.]]> 2018-03-12 04:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240687419 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240687924 2018-03-12 04:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240687924 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240688282 The main ecological issue of the tundra is global warming. From a result of global warming, the permafrost, which is a thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year can melt and can change the landscape. It can also change the species that can live in the tundra because of the change in landscape. ]]> 2018-03-12 04:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/240688282 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/241114408 Another ecological issue of the tundra is air pollution. Air pollution can cause smog clouds which affect lichen. Lichen are the main food source for many animals in the tundra, and if they die, then many other animals could die as well.]]> 2018-03-12 20:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/241114408 1026246057 https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/241115128 Another ecological issue of the tundra is human development. Large reserves of gas and oil found beneath the tundra lead to roads, mines, etc. This could result in oil spills, road dust, etc. All of this could add up and affect the tundra a lot. ]]> 2018-03-12 20:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1026246057/mruv2fgxby5f/wish/241115128
