Compare and Contrast two biomes

A Desert biome is usally very hot during the day and chilly during the night. The biome has 10 inches of rain per year and it precipitation is mostly rainy. This biome is located around the equtaor and it covers1/5 of the earths surface. The plants that live in this biome usally store water and the animals get water from unusuall places. The plants and animals that live there adapt to extreme weather conditions. Some animals avoid heat because they are nocturnal and they also avoid heat by staying underground.

                                                                                                                                                                        A tundra biome is soil frozen most of the year and has 10 inches of rain per year. This part of land covers 1/5 of the earths surface and it is farest north. Some plants grow close together so they can protect themselves from the cold. The trees that grow on this land are very small . The plants and animals that grow and live here have to adapt to the extreme weather conditions. Because of the weather conditions there is a very short summer when the plants get to grow. The animals are able to adapt to the cold and the plants are small and grow close to the ground. The water is not avaiable most of the year.
