The main difference between desert and tundra biomes is their climates. Deserts are hot and dry, receiving very little rainfall, while tundras are cold and dry, with low temperatures and permafrost. Vegetation in these biomes also differs, with deserts often having sparse vegetation adapted to arid conditions, while tundras have low-growing plants adapted to the cold climate.

Tundra and desert biomes have shallow soil profiles because weathering is limited by a lack of moisture. In tundra biomes, cold temperatures slow down the process of weathering. In desert biomes, low precipitation and arid conditions prevent significant weathering processes from occurring.
Tundra and desert biomes have shallow soil profiles because weathering is limited by lack of?
Tundra and desert biomes have shallow soil profiles because weathering is limited by lack of precipitation. The low moisture levels in these biomes hinder the breakdown of rocks into soil, resulting in shallow soil depths. Additionally, the cold temperatures in tundra biomes also limit the rate of weathering and soil formation.
