Arctic and Alpine Tundra Concepts

This video from Moomoomath and Science discusses two types of tundra: Arctic and alpine. The Arctic tundra is located in North America, Asia, and Europe, characterized by cold temperatures and permafrost. It supports small plants and various animals adapted to the cold. The alpine tundra, found at high elevations, shares similar climate conditions but lacks common animal species across regions. Examples include the Himalayas and Rocky Mountains. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for daily educational content.
