Answer:

c. daytime conductive heat gain from adjacent ground surface would be greater

Explanation:

The plants in the tundra had to adapt to survive so they became short and developed closer together, this can create a sort of cushion that locks in the heat that the sun can provide, conductive heat from the adjacent soil is also taken advantage of and the leaves on the plant absorbe as much heat from the sunlight as they can, growin closer together also helps them mantain the heat.

Besides distance why can't you see across an ocean to land on the other side
Bogdan [553]
If I recall correctly, I was taught:
The particles in the air (dust, smoke, etc.) increase in density the farther you look. Causing a "fog" effect as you look across large distances. Including shore to shore of an ocean.
