Question

The desert and tundra are alike because they both have A) extreme daily temperature changes. B) large seasonal variation. C) limited available water. D) sandy soils.

Answer 1

• The desert and tundra are alike because they both have limited available water.
• The tundra biomes are characterized by very low temperatures due to which the ground is permanently covered by a layer of ice and this is known permafrost.
• The desert biomes are characterized by a very low average rainfall of less than 25 cm per year and they have a hot and dry climate.
• Both Tundra and desert biomes have water scarcity as the in the tundra the permafrost does not allow the water to percolate into the ground and in the desert, the amount of rainfall is very less.

Answer 2

The desert and tundra are alike because they both have limited available water.
