What are the different types of soils in the Tundra biome?
There isn't really much soil in most tundras but there is some. It is located under the snow above the layer of permafrost (a thick layer of ice that doesn't melt).
What is Nonpermanent ice?
Places such as most of Antarctica are covered with a permanent layer of ice. In other places, ice only forms when the temperature drops below freezing. The ice formed when this happens in non-permanent ice because it is only temporary.
Why are the gases in each layer of ice different?
Layers of ice in a glacier or permanent ice pack form a sort of history. Snow falls on top of older layers of snow, and as it builds up the snow at the bottom gets compressed into ice. The gases in each layer represent the composition of the air at the time
How does erosion make soil?
Erosion does not make soil, but rather removes it. Erosion is the process of wearing away or transport of soil and rock particles by wind, water, or ice. This can result in the loss of topsoil, which is the fertile layer of soil rich in nutrients.
Does an ice cube melt faster on soil?
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
What happens to the ice in the top soil layer in the summer in tundra?
it melts

What planet may have water under a thick layer of ice?
Europa is one of the many moons of Jupiter and one of the four main moons. It is thought to have a liquid water or soft ice layer under a thick layer of surface ice. Ceres (dwarf planet) is also thought to possibly have a water layer under a thin, dusty crust.
Where is good soil found if it's winter?
under the ice

What will happen if you pour ice water on an earthworm?
it will start moving slowly looking for soil to go under before turning into ice
What is the name of the thick layer of ice and snow that has formed permanent crust over Alaska and antarctica?
The ocean waters freeze in winter. This is referred to as sea ice. Ice in the form of glaciers being pushed out over the ocean is called an ice shelf.
How are fake ice skating rinks made?
under the ice is concrete. nothing can go in or out. the temp keeps the water frozen to create a thick layer of ice to skate on
Why wouldn't you expect an apple tree to grow in inuvik?
an apple tree doesn't grow in Inuvik because Inuvik is in north and under the soil in north, there is a layer of ice known as permafrost which prevents the apple trees to grow in northern areas.
What type of Arctic Ice surrounds the North Pole permanent sea ice seasonal ice or permanent land ice?
Seasonal ice (Seasonal permafrost)
