Environmental Factors Affecting Tundra Climate

Tundra climate is probably the most biomes that are influenced by the climate. Four principal factors that affect Tundra climate are the solar radiation, the temperature, and precipitation as well as air pressure. Solar radiation is very weak in Arctic or Antarctic tundra which is why polar tundra are often covered in the snow compared to other tundra around the world. However, in summer, there is more solar radiation which gets the temperature to rise. Alpine tundra zone gets more solar radiation than polar tundra zone which is why in the Alps, there is snow in winter but not a lot in summer and in the polar tundra, it is covered in snow all year due to the lack of solar radiation in some places. Polar tundra have weak solar radiation due
