Believe it or not, the tundra is like the desert in one very important way. The similarity results in plants with a like adaptat
ion to their environment. How are these two biomes alike and what adaptation do plants living in each biome share? a. Low light intensity; long life cycles.
b. Strong, cold, drying winds; low growing in clumps.
c. Low rainfall and available water; waxy coating on leaves to prevent drying.
d. Low temperatures; silver-gray hairs on leaves provide a greenhouse effect so plants stay warm.
Both tundra and deserts receive very little precipitation, and it can even happen that some places in a tundra receive more precipitation than some places in a desert! As a result the plants in both tundra and a desert have a waxy coating on leaves. - The correct answer is c.
I'm thinking A. Because uniformitarianism means the theory that changes in the earth's crust during geological history have resulted from the action of continuous and uniform processes.
