above sea level
Tundra affects the rest of the world by playing a role in regulating global climate. It acts as a carbon sink, storing large amounts of carbon in its soil and vegetation. Changes in the tundra due to climate change can lead to the release of stored carbon, affecting the global carbon cycle and potentially accelerating climate change. Additionally, the tundra is a critical habitat for unique species that could be impacted by changes in temperature and precipitation patterns.
No, altitude and sea level are not the same thing. Altitude is the distance of a location above sea level, while sea level is a specific level used as a reference point for measuring elevations. Sea level represents the average level of the ocean's surface.
The sea level in Stonington, CT is approximately 0 feet above sea level.
below sea level. Yes - I know, so obvious XD
A plateau is typically above sea level. It is a flat, elevated landform with a relatively flat top and steep sides.
+3500 meters above sea level
In the tundra, winters are long and summers are short. During the winter. The tundra is located 1,000 to 4,000 feet above sea level.
I'm no expert, but sea lions can live in tundra. I hope I helped!
No. Tundra implies growing seasons. The South Pole is occupied by about two-miles thick of ice and the land beneath the ice sheet is below sea level.
Both. But mostly Taiga. Tundra is on the sides of Alaska. The sides where it is closer to the sea.
There is no desert above the tundra. Instead, there is Arctic sea ice.

From some information found on the Denali National Park website: Tundra is simply the land above treeline. Treeline varies with latitude, existing at about 18,000' at the equator, about 10,000' in Colorado, about 2700' in Denali and drops to sea level in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle. Tundra comes in two basic forms: dry tundra, which is usually found on well-drained mountain slopes and ridges, and moist tundra which is damp to downright boggy. The word tundra comes from a Lapp word meaning "marshy plain."
