Question 3 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following statements about the tundra is not true?

Answer
A
Tundra means “treeless land.”
B
Plants and animals in the tundra have adapted to the extreme climate.
C
Temperatures in the tundra range from extreme highs to extreme lows.
D
The alpine tundra can be found on mountaintops.

Explanation

Tundra regions are known for very cold conditions and short, cool summers, not temperatures that swing from extreme lows to extreme highs. The other statements are true: “tundra” means “treeless land,” tundra organisms are adapted to the harsh climate, and alpine tundra occurs on mountaintops. Therefore, the statement about extreme highs and lows is not true.
