Why are tundras located where they are?

Tundras are located near the North and South Poles because of their cold temperatures, short growing seasons, and permafrost present in the soil. The location at high latitudes results in limited sunlight, preventing trees from growing and creating a unique landscape dominated by grasses, mosses, and lichens.


Are there any rocks in tundras?

Yes, there are rocks in tundras. Tundras are typically covered with a layer of vegetation, mosses, and lichens, but rocks can still be found in the soil and surface. These rocks may be uncovered during the short summer thaw or exposed in areas where the vegetation is less dense.


Why are plateaus important?

Plateaus are important as it brings a level of economic value to the country. plateaus are a good source of minerals and are useful for agriculture.impoatnace of plateau(1) Plateaus and Minerals - The plateaus are famous for minerals. The plateau of France, the Deccan plateau of India, Western Australian plateau and Brazilian plateau are very good sources of minerals. I(2) Plateaus and Agriculture - Plateaus are not very useful from the point of view of agriculture. The hard rocks on plateaus cannot form fertile soil but agricultural activities are promoted where lava soils have developed. Lava soil in developed form is found on the terraced slopes of Indonesia. This soil promotes agriculture. It is difficult to dig wells and canals in plateaus. This hampers irrigation.(4) Plateaus and Vegetation - Grass grows on plateaus. Animals are reared on it. The plateaus of Australia, Patagonia and South Africa are well known for the rearing of goats and hippos.


What are some environmental factors of tundras?

Permafrost, low temperatures, and short growing season are key environmental factors of tundras. Other factors include strong winds, limited precipitation, and a delicate balance of flora and fauna adapted to the harsh conditions.


Average rainfall of the tundras?

The average annual rainfall in tundras is typically very low, ranging from 6 to 10 inches. Tundras are characterized by cold, dry conditions with limited precipitation, often in the form of snow. This low rainfall is a result of the cold temperatures and low moisture content in the atmosphere.
