<span>High latitudes and altitudes are associated with permafrost. These areas provide the lengthy cold conditions that support permafrost development. Permafrost is soil, rock or sediment that is frozen for more than two consecutive years and is not found in warmer climates.</span>
Good morning!! The purpose of both a dichotomous key and a field guide's purpose is to identify organisms. The only difference between the two is the a dichotomous key just uses descriptions to identify the animal with no pictures, but a field guide uses pictures to identify the organism. Another thing that separates the two is that the dichotomous key gives questions/descriptions that describe the organism, whereas the field guide uses a brief description of the animal. Hope I helped!!
