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.
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.
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.
Five different climates are mentoned below :- 1.Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18° Celsius. 2.Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year. 3.Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters. 4.Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters. 5.Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers.

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. Hope that helps!!!There is a short growing season in the polar region. The only plants that grow there are lichens, mosses, liverworts, and some arctic willows.
The climate where precipitation always falls as snow is a polar climate, found in polar regions near the North and South poles. In these areas, temperatures are consistently below freezing, causing all precipitation to be snow.
So the polar ice cap gets 25 cm of rain every year.
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.
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).
I asked this question too... Other sources say the ice cap region average temperature is about -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope that helps!
Mars' largest polar cap is the northern polar cap, known as the North Polar Ice Cap. It is made up of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, covering an area roughly equivalent to the size of Greenland on Earth.
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
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.
It can reach as high as 27°C and as low as -143°C. The average temperature is around -87°C.
