what is the average rainfall in inches in the polar biome

Actually, I'm not sure. But it's quite similar to a desert's because of the low humidity.

Improved: He right, though its somewhere around 10 to 30 cm. per year. Not inches, CM.

What type of vegetation is found in a polar ice cap?

Polar ice caps are covered in permanent ice and snow, so vegetation is extremely limited. Only a few mosses, lichens, and algae can survive in these harsh conditions, typically found around the edges of the ice cap where some bare ground might be exposed.


What biomes would you pass through just going to the north pole?

On a journey to the North Pole, you would pass through the tundra biome initially, characterized by low temperatures and treeless landscapes with mosses and lichens. As you approach the North Pole, you would enter the polar ice cap biome, dominated by ice and snow with very few plant species able to survive in extreme cold conditions.

Which of these climates does precipitation always fall as snow?

Why aren't mountain ranges or polar ice cap classified as biomes?

Mountain ranges and polar ice caps are not classified as biomes because they do not meet the criteria for a biome, which is a large geographic area with similar environmental conditions and distinct plant and animal communities. Mountain ranges and polar ice caps are considered more as physical features rather than ecosystems with their own unique flora and fauna. Biomes are typically characterized by specific climate patterns, soil types, and vegetation, which are not present in these extreme environments.


Which polar cap on Mars is larger and colder?

Mars Polar CapThe southern polar cap is larger and colder. It is composed of carbon dioxide (dry ice) while the northern is mainly water ice (which freezes at a warmer temperature, therefore the dry ice cap in the south is colder).

Is it dry in polar areas?

Polar areas have frozen water. They are too cold to receive rain. The North Pole sits on an ice cap over an ocean. The South Pole sits on a glacier. So there is lots of water with little precipitation.
