What countries are tundras?
A tundra is a region that is cold year round and has very little few plants. Tundras usually have permafrost, a layer of soil that is frozen year round, but they don't necessarily have to in order to be considered a tundra. Tundras can be classified as Arctic, Antarctic, or Alpine. Arctic tundra regions can be found in northern areas of Canada, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Antarctic tundras are located on the continent of Antarctica or the islands nearby, such as the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are just off the coast of South America. Alpine tundras are areas that are so high in altitude that trees cannot grow there. The cold temperatures and lack of plant life (aside from moss and lichens), make these regions tundras. These tundras are the only kind that don't have permafrost. They can be found in mountainous regions all over the world.
Would you find a tundra near the equator?
No, tundras are found in high latitudes near the poles, not near the equator. The cold temperatures and short growing season in tundras create a unique ecosystem adapted to those conditions.
Are tundras urban suburban or rural areas?
Tundras are generally considered rural areas due to their remote and sparsely populated nature. They are characterized by cold climates, low vegetation, and permafrost, making them unsuitable for large-scale urban or suburban development.
How do you compare and contrast a tundra to a desert?
Both tundras and deserts are characterized by extreme temperatures and limited vegetation, but they differ in terms of precipitation patterns. Tundras are cold with low precipitation, while deserts are hot with very low precipitation. Tundras have a layer of permafrost beneath the surface, while deserts have sandy or rocky terrain.

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.
