What is meant by an extreme

climate?

Extreme weather is when a weather event is significantly different from the

average or usual weather pattern. This may take place over one day or a period
of time. A flash flood or heat waves are two examples of extreme weather in the
UK.
Alaska is tundra (places with frozen soils) which is one of two types of Polar
Regions.
Places with extreme climates experience temperature or rainfall conditions that
limit flora (plants) growth and fauna (animals) numbers. Without the aid of
technology, human population living in these places are limited too. Where
extremely high or low temperature is found, peoples day to day life existence is
threatened. In
