Frequently Asked Questions
What are the biomes soil type and depth?
The soil of the arctic tundra is poor in nutrients, which accounts for the low amount of vegetation. There is an under-layer of soil called permafrost which remains completely frozen at all times, allowing little room for deep rooting plants and trees.In high-latitude tundra, permafrost lies a few inches to a few feet below the soil surface and can extend to depths of 2240 feet.
Artic fox
adaptations to help them survive in extremely cold
climates. These adaptations include fur on its paws to
help keep them warm, a thick, dense coat of fur around
its body, short ears, a small body, and a large and
bushy tail that it uses to curl around its body.
Polar Bear
sunlight and retain heat. Like many animals of the
tundra, Polar Bears have short ears to minimize heat
loss.
Arctic Hare
winter, and in the summer the coat may change to a blue-
gray or gray-brown coat. Arctic Hares have large hind
feet that enable them to move very quickly across the
snow. They also have claws that help them to dig
through the snow when looking for mosses or other
vegetation to eat.
