Question

A kind of similarity found in polar regions and high altitudes is:

• A. High temperature, low precipitation and deciduous forest
• B. Low temperature, low precipitation, scanty or no vegetation
• C. Moderate rainfall, high temperature, no vegetation
• D. High humidity, high rainfall, low temperature

Answer 1

The correct option is B Low temperature, low precipitation, scanty or no vegetation

Polar and high altitude climates are cold, windy and dry. Because of the lack of precipitation and low temperatures the arctic and antarctic are considered the world's largest deserts or polar deserts. Much of the radiation from the sun that is received is reflected off the snow making the polar and high altitude regions cold. As the sunlight reaching is also very low, hence, there is little or no vegetation.
