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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is a temperate zone.... grow zone 4 and in the mountains above 5000ft it is arctic

From the tropics to sub arctic regions there are about 5000 species

It is easier to live in the warmer temperatures. Just think about it.
No. As you might expect from the name, tropical storms do not stray too far from the tropics.
Freshwater biomes can exist in the tropics or the arctic. Thus in some it does snow and in others it never snows.
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.
except for the north, it is tropical
