Why are earth's polar regions never very warm?
Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known..part of what little sunlight the Polar regions receive, contributing to the cold.
Why does solar energy reach the equatorial regions more than the polar regions?
Because the sun hits more directly at the equator. More sunlight is reflected off from the polar regions, and so less sunlight hits in the polar regions. NO! The sun's rays strike the polar regions at a lower angle, therefore delivering the same amount of energy, but spreading it over a greater area. This is what causes lower temperatures in the polar regions.
How cold can the polar regions get?
the polar regions can drop to temperatures exceeding -30 degrees so it is definatly below freezing.
Why do hurricanes form in polar regions?
Well, they don't, actually. Hurricanes form in the more tropical regions, never the polar regions. Reason for that is basically there is more moisture in the atmosphere than in the polar regions. For a better explanation, please see the related question below.

What plants and algae can be found in the polar ice regions?

What plants live in a polar ice biome?
Polar bears live in the Arctic, penguins live in the Antarctic, both of which are polar regions and have no significant plant life.
What kinds of plants are on polar ice caps?
Plants are generally not found on polar ice caps due to the extreme cold temperatures and lack of soil for growth. However, some lichens, mosses, and algae can survive in these harsh conditions by growing on rocks or ice surfaces where minimal nutrients are available. These plants are adapted to survive in low temperatures and limited sunlight.
What plants grow in the polar regions?
The plants that grow in polar regions are Lichens,Mosses,Algae and fungi, they can stand the heat and coldness at night.Also there are saxifrage, bearberrys arctic willows arctic moss polar fire and Aqapanthus they are all plants that grow in the polar regions. There are many more I think i will find out and improve answer when I find out. Hope this helps guys.Lichens, Mosses, Algae and Fungi because they can stand the harshly cold temperatures at night.

How many plants and animals live in the polar regions?
Depends on which plants and animals can adapt the the climate of the polar regions.mostly polar bears, penguins, some whales, and some birds live there but i dont know about any plants
Why might the forests in south America and near the equator be so productive?
Because of direct sunshine (not the slanted rays like in Polar and sub-Polar regions) and abundant rains.
What environment is the least favorable to plants and animals?
The artic (polar) regions are not the best places for most animals and plants.
Why might rain forests in South America and near the equator be so productive?
Because of direct sunshine (not the slanted rays like in Polar and sub-Polar regions) and abundant rains.
