View and discuss climate diagrams and how they are used to determine the productivity of a biome and which climate factors predominate, water or temperature.
The tundra biome is examined in detail. Photographs are analyzed and the major characteristics elicited from them. Cold, treeless, low growing vegetation, frozen winter soil, permafrost, short growing season, stagnant water, no drainage, poor soil, moss and lichens, muskox, foxes, polar bears, mosquitos, and seals are just a few of the fauna and flora.
