The tropics generally have a warm and humid climate with consistent high temperatures throughout the year. In contrast, the Arctic has a cold and dry climate with long winters and short, cool summers. The Arctic experiences extreme temperature variations and receives very little sunlight during certain parts of the year.

What are the areas between the equator and the tropics called?
The major imaginary latitudinal lines on the earth's suface from north to south are - * the Arctic Circle * the Tropic of Cancer * the Equator * the Tropic of Capricorn * the Antarctic Circle
What line of latitude is most important?
The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Are the Arctic Circle 23 degrees south and the Equator lines of latitude or longitude?
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
How do the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles all relate to the Plane of the Eclipitic?
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are defined by the furthest points the sun reaches from the equator, marking the limits of the sun's overhead position. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are defined by the furthest point north and south where the sun can be seen at the winter solstice. Collectively, they all relate to the Plane of the Ecliptic, which is the imaginary plane in which Earth orbits the sun, influencing the patterns of daylight and seasons on our planet.
Do hurricanes occur in the arctic tundra?
Hurricanes do not typically occur in the Arctic tundra. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters in tropical and subtropical regions, while the Arctic tundra is characterized by cold temperatures and a lack of warm ocean waters needed for hurricane formation. However, with climate change, there is concern about the potential for more extreme weather events in the Arctic regions.
What was the climite in New Hampshire?

How many different species of Frogs are there?

What climite do elephants live in?
warm
Why does species diversity tend to be higher in the tropics than in the arctic?
It is easier to live in the warmer temperatures. Just think about it.
Does the arctic tundra get tropical storms?
No. As you might expect from the name, tropical storms do not stray too far from the tropics.
Does it snow in the freshwater biome?
Freshwater biomes can exist in the tropics or the arctic. Thus in some it does snow and in others it never snows.
Is there more co2 in the arctic or tropic?
There is generally more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the tropics compared to the Arctic. The tropics are home to dense vegetation and extensive ecosystems that contribute to higher CO2 levels through respiration and decomposition processes. In contrast, the Arctic has lower vegetation density and less biomass, resulting in lower overall CO2 concentrations. However, the Arctic is experiencing significant changes due to climate change, which may impact its carbon dynamics in the future.
Are there tropical rainforest in Canada?
By definition, tropical rainforests are found in the tropics, more specifically between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, about 23 degrees N and S of the equator. Parts of Canada are in the arctic circle. So no.
