Why does tundra have permafrost?
The tundra has permafrost because the soil in the tundra is very poor. This is why there are not many trees or plants that grow very tall in the tundra. Permafrost is the top layer of soil that is frozen. Obviously there's permafrost because in the tundra it is very cold and the soil is not very rich.

What is the name of permanently frozen soil?
The permanently frozen ground in the northern latitudes is called permafrost. The layer closest to the surface that thaws during the summer is also part of the permafrost, but is called the active layer. Permafrost is a major feature of the tundra biome.In physical geography, tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term tundra comes from Kildin Sami tūndâr, which means "uplands, treeless mountain tract." There are two types of tundra: Arctic tundra (which also occurs in Antarctica) and alpine tundra. In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline.
Why are climate and vegetation related?
Climate and vegetation are related because certain types of vegetation (plants) can only grow in certain climates. For example, most plants that grow closer to the equator could not survive nearer the poles due to the climatic differences.

How and why is melting of permafrost dangerous?
Permafrost, when it melts, releases vast amounts of methane (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas, produced from the anaerobic rotting of the permafrost vegetation. This increases global warming, which is causing climate change.
Does vegetation includes all plants and animals?
No vegetation means only the types of plants grow there.But both of them are interlinked, the type of vegetation present determines the type of animal living there
