Question

match each biome with the correct characteristics.

Explanation:

1. Latitude Near Poles: Arctic tundra is located at high latitudes close to the North and South Poles, while alpine tundra is found at high elevations on mountains, not polar latitudes.
2. High Elevation: Alpine tundra exists on high mountain peaks/elevations above the tree line, unlike Arctic tundra which is based on latitude.
3. Low Temperature Variation: Arctic tundra has relatively consistent cold temperatures with small seasonal swings, while alpine tundra can have more variable temperatures.
4. Temperature Extremes: Alpine tundra experiences greater daily and seasonal temperature shifts (warm days, very cold nights) compared to the more uniformly cold Arctic tundra.

Answer:

• Latitude Near Poles: Arctic Tundra
• High Elevation: Alpine Tundra
• Low Temperature Variation: Arctic Tundra
• Temperature Extremes: Alpine Tundra
