Explore the cold and chilly tundra regions in North America and Asia, learn why both places are freezing, and discover why plant life is more varied in the North American tundra in a simple way for kids.
Hello! Let's learn about tundras, which are very cold places found in North America and Asia.
Both these tundras are very chilly because they are near the North Pole. They have freezing weather most of the year, and summer, the warm season, does not last very long.
Even though the weather is very cold, some plants can still live there! The plants are low to the ground like mosses, grasses, and small shrubs because the cold and wind make it hard for tall trees to grow.
Now, when we compare the two tundras, the North American tundra has more kinds of plants than the Asian tundra. This is because of differences in soil, little changes in temperature, and how much sunlight they get, which help plants grow better in North America.
So, the tundra might seem like a frozen desert, but it's full of amazing life that is specially made to live in the cold!
