Predict the type of soil that will form in arctic and tropical climates?
Rainfall is minimal, chemical weathering occurs slowly, the soil is thin and consists mainly of regolith(evidence that soil in these areas forms mostly by mechanical weathering) too cold to sustain life, so little humus.
How do humans affect the arctic tundra?
it is affected by people using it for oil and minerals form the ground.
How do climate and landforms affect the soils characteristics?
The soil that forms in a hot, wet climate is very different from the soil that develops in a cold, dry climate. Climate influences the characteristics of developing soil because the climate influences the weathering of the rock. The four soil types that develop in different climate regions are: tropical, desert, temperate, and arctic.
What types of air masses that affect Saskatchewan?
Continental polar air masses would mostly affect Saskatchewan. There may also sometimes be maritime arctic and maritime polar air masses.
Is the Arctic the largest desert?
The Sahara is the largest non-arctic desert.
Does chemical weathering cause erosion in Florida?
Chemical weathering can contribute to erosion in Florida, but it is not the sole cause. Florida's sandy soils are particularly prone to erosion due to their loose nature, along with factors like rainfall, storms, and sea-level rise. Chemical weathering can weaken rock and contribute to the erosion process, but other factors play significant roles as well.
Which is the most common cause of erosion in deserts?
In dry deserts a combination of exfoliation and wind erosion. In arctic deserts wind erosion would be the most prominent
How does the temperature in the Arctic affect the quality of life in the Arctic?
Adversely
What are biotic factors that affect Arctic wolves?
The fungi
How can climate rates affect chemical weathering?
Humidity and temperature are the keys to chemical weathering (and to answer a previous poster, chemical weathering is a natural process, though human activity can affect it. Chemical weathering needs water, to act as a solvent and to transport corrosive ions so chemical weathering in arid climates, and in arctic climates (where water is frozen, and so not available) have little if any chemical weathering. Chemical processes are also (mostly) accelerated by higher temperature so the high humidity and high temperature of the tropics is the place where chemical weathering predominates . Contribution of humic acids from soils is also important, and the high rate of growth of plants in tropical climates is also a factor. While the solution of Limestones by acidified water is the most commonly quoted example, many minerals break down chemically, feldspar breaking down to clay minerals would be another important example.
What are some living factors that affect the arctic tundra?
Foxes.
How do abiotic factors affect plant growth in the arctic tundra?

Does Global Warming affect the Arctic wolf?
yes because the ice it lives on will eventually melt and it will die out because it will have no where to live. hence the term ARCTIC fox
