Tundra is one of the seven types of Earth environments, or biomes, each of which is characterized by specialized vegetation, climate and animal life.

Elevation can vary not only from one tundra to another, but within a single tundra.

Why is it possible to pass through several biomes as you drive up a mountain?

Because, elevation affects both temperature and precipitation, the type of biome found at a higher elevation can be different from one at a lower elevation. For Example: Temperate forest, Boreal forest, Tundra, and Permanent ice. (forest by mountain, higher up the mountain, go higher and you reach at tundra, top of mountain is cold and precipitation is very different, so it's permanent ice) Hope this answers your question :)
