A polar bear will survive strong winds by curling up next to a snow-drift and waiting for the wind to calm down.

Polar bears dig dens to protect themselves from cold winds.


Why are polar bears coming into the towns?

Like all bears, polar bears are attracted to any food source, and that includes human refuse dumps. This is a habit that can end badly for the bears, as they become dependent on humans for their food. Conflicts ensue, and the bear usually winds up dead.


Why do we not get polar winds in ous country give reason?

Polar winds, or polar easterlies, are primarily found in polar regions due to the temperature differences between the cold polar air and warmer equatorial air. In countries situated closer to the equator, the dominant wind patterns are influenced by the trade winds and the Coriolis effect, which leads to different circulation patterns. Additionally, these regions experience milder temperatures that prevent the strong, cold air masses characteristic of polar winds from forming. Therefore, the absence of harsh polar climates in such countries contributes to the lack of polar winds.

What does the polar bear use to protect itself from cold?

Polar Bears use a combination of fur and blubber (or fat) to keep themselves warm. Both the blubber and the fur trap heat as well as keeping out water and chilly winds.


What are winds that blow from the north pole and south pole called?

Winds that blow from the north pole and south pole are called polar easterlies. They originate from the polar high-pressure areas and blow towards the lower pressure zones at around 60 degrees latitude.


What biome would you most likely find plants and animals that are adapted to survive in extremely cold temperatures?

You would most likely find plants and animals adapted to survive in extremely cold temperatures in the tundra biome. This biome is characterized by its cold climate, strong winds, and a short growing season, with permafrost underlying the soil. Vegetation is typically low-growing, including mosses, lichens, and small shrubs, while animals such as polar bears, arctic foxes, and migratory birds have specialized adaptations to thrive in these harsh conditions.


Winds that blow from the North and South poles?

The winds that blow from the North Pole are called polar easterlies, while the winds that blow from the South Pole are called polar westerlies. These winds are cold, dry, and they originate from the high-pressure areas near the poles.


What is the environment like in Antarctica?

Why does a polar bear have a thick fur?

Polar bears have fur to keep themselves warm. Underneath is lots of fatty tissue and thick fur. If they didn't have it then they wouldn't be able to adapt to their environment and would freeze. The fur acts as a barrier between their skin and the water and helps them survive the brutal winds, freezing water and cold weather of the Arctic. Polar bears actually have transparent fur over black skin. Reflection of the sunlight from the densely packed transparent hairs makes polar bears seem to be white. The bears' black skin absorbs heat from the sun. The transparent fur is made up of hollow hairs called guard hairs. These air-filled guard hairs help transmit heat from the sunlight to the polar bear's black skin as a solar heat collector. In turn, the reflection stops the heat being lost from their black skin. Their fur is also waterproof, so it helps keep the bears warmer when they are in water.
