The word Tundra comes from the word tunturia which means treeless pain.It is known for having frost molded landscapes,low temperatures, little to no precipitation poor nutrients and short growing seasons. saniyawilson https://padlet.com/saniyawilson/nu9azm25fe7b/wish/385677448 2019-09-18 01:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/saniyawilson/nu9azm25fe7b/wish/385677448 the tundra is noted for its low temperature. The tundra is basically summer-less, having no monthly temperature averaging above 10 degrees C, and having at least nine months below freezing saniyawilson https://padlet.com/saniyawilson/nu9azm25fe7b/wish/385680139 2019-09-18 02:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/saniyawilson/nu9azm25fe7b/wish/385680139 The Latitude and Longitude of the Tundra Biome is 71.2 degrees North and 156 degrees west.
