Tundra
Tundra is the youngest of all the biomes. The tundra was formed by a retreating
continental glacier only 10,000 years
ago. The tundra is also the home of many specially adapted plants and animals
found no where else in the world. There are two different types of tundra: arctic
and alpine. Both share some of the same plants, animals, and climate, but are
located in different areas around the world.
Arctic tundra occurs close to sea level
in arctic regions in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. Alpine tundra
is found on isolated patches on mountain sides. It can be found in scattered areas
from the arctic to as central as North America.

Alpine and Arctic Tundra areas are very closely related, so if you are searching for info on one of those topics and can't find anything...research the other one also! It's a GOOD tip!

Study Essentials:
As you read the text on tundra, make a note of the following concepts:
- What are the two types of tundra? Where are they usually found?
- What is so different about the arctic tundra's climate?
- How do plants and animals adapt to the seasons and varying weather conditions?
- What are the five types of land formations found in the tundra?
