Why is there no tundra and taiga in the southern hemisphere?

Tundra and taiga biomes are typically found in regions with cold climates and short growing seasons, which are more prevalent in the northern hemisphere due to the distribution of land masses and prevailing wind patterns. The southern hemisphere has less landmass at high latitudes and more ocean coverage, leading to milder temperatures and different vegetation types.


What hemisphere is the tundra in?

The tundra biome can be found in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, tundra regions are located in countries like Canada, Russia, and parts of Scandinavia. In the Southern Hemisphere, tundra regions are found in Antarctica and some subantarctic islands.


What is the reason that higher average surface densities are found in the Southern Hemisphere?

Higher average surface densities are found in the Southern Hemisphere due to the presence of extensive ocean basins and the Southern Hemisphere having less landmass compared to the Northern Hemisphere. This results in a larger proportion of the Southern Hemisphere being covered by water, leading to higher average surface densities in that region.


Where are boreal forest found?
