WHAT IS ICE CAP
CLIMATE?
ICE CAP CLIMATE
An ice cap climate is a polar climate where no

mean monthly temperature exceeds 0 °C (32 °F).

The climate covers areas in or near the high

latitudes (65° latitude) to polar regions (70–90°

north and south latitude), such as Antarctica, some

of the northernmost islands of Canada and Russia,

Greenland, along with some regions and islands of

Norway's Svalbard Archipelago that have vast

deserts of snow and ice.

ICE C AP C L IMATE
Areas with ice cap climates are normally covered by

a permanent layer of ice and have no vegetation.

There is limited animal life in most ice cap climates,

usually found near the oceanic margins. Although

ice cap climates are inhospitable to human life and

there are no permanent civilian settlements located

in this climate zone, there are some small research

stations scattered in Antarctica and interior

Greenland..
WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS
LIVE IN ICE CAPS
CLIMATE?

 POLAR BEARS ARE MAMMALS THAT ARE

CLASSIFIED AS A TYPE OF BEAR.

PREDATING SEALS FOR FOOD, WHITE

FUR, LONG NECKS, ARE AMONG THE

THREATENED SPECIES DUE TO GLOBAL

WARMING.

POLAR BEAR


WHALES ARE LARGE MAMMALS THAT LIVE

EXCLUSIVELY IN THE SEAS OR OCEANS.

IT IS AN ANIMAL SHAPED LIKE A FISH,

ELONGATED AND SLENDER. IT HAS FINS

AND A TAIL LIKE A FISH. BUT THE WHALE'S

TAIL IS HORIZONTAL. NOT VERTICAL LIKE

A FISH, A WHALE IS NOT A FISH.EAT KRILL

AND PLANKTON AS FOOD. BUT IT MAY

WHALES
EAT SMALL AQUATIC ANIMALS SUCH AS

SMALL FISH.

IN THE ENDANGERED SPECIES GROUP

 IT IS A MAMMAL IN THE LARGE FAMILY OF PAW-

FINNED ANIMALS. WHICH IS DIVIDED INTO 3 GROUPS:

THE EARLESS FAMILY (PHOCIDAE), THE EARED SEAL

(OTARIIDAE) AND THE WALRUS (ODOBENIDAE). MALE

SEALS ARE LARGER THAN FEMALES. WITH A LARGE

NECK THE BODY COLOR OF THE MALE'S BODY IS

GRAY-BLACK. AND A BROWN SAM, WEIGHT ABOUT

247 KILOGRAMS, LENGTH 2.15 METERS, FEMALE

BODY COLOR IS BROWN-GRAY, WEIGHT ABOUT 57

KILOGRAMS AND LENGTH 1.56 METERS.

SEALS
SEALS FISH IN THE SEA NEAR SMALL ISLANDS AND

LAND ON ISLANDS ON THE ROCKY, TIDAL BEACH IN

SOUTH AFRICA. EAT FISH AS A STAPLE FOOD,

INCLUDING SQUID AND SHELLFISH.

 ALTHOUGH ICE CAP CLIMATES

ARE INHOSPITABLE TO HUMAN

HAS ANY HUMAN

LIFE AND THERE ARE NO

PERMANENT CIVILIAN

HAS LIVED IN ICE SETTLEMENTS LOCATED IN

CAP CLIMATE?
THIS CLIMATE ZONE, THERE

ARE SOME SMALL RESEARCH

STATIONS SCATTERED IN

ANTARCTICA AND INTERIOR

GREENLAND.
WHAT IS HIGH LAND
CLIMATE?
HIGHLAND CLIMATE
In Highland Climate high insolation, low

temperature, low air pressure, large

diurnal ranges of temperature and

relatively large amount of precipitation

at higher altitudes are common. This

type of climate is found in the Alps, the

Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, the

Rockies and the Andes.

In mountainous regions, altitude and insolation

play important roles in controlling temperature

and precipitation.

On high mountains the effect of high altitude is

almost the same as that of high latitudes on the

globe.

This may be revealed by altitudinal zonation of

vegetation from foot of the mountains to their

tops.

In Highland Climate high insolation, low

temperature, low air pressure, large diurnal

ranges of temperature and relatively large

amount of precipitation at higher altitudes are

common.

This type of climate is found in the Alps, the

Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, the Rockies and

the Andes.

WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS

LIVE IN HIGHLAND
CLIMATE?

 MOUNTAIN GOAT, ALSO KNOWN

AS ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOAT. IT IS

A HOOFED MAMMAL THAT IS

NATIVE TO THE MOUNTAINOUS

REGIONS OF WESTERN NORTH

AMERICA. IT IS A SEMI-ALPINE TO

ALPINE TYPE. IT'S DEFINITELY A

FOOT CLIMBER COMMONLY SEEN

ON CLIFFS AND ICE.

Moutain goats
 SHEEP ARE QUADRUPED RUMINANTS

AND MAMMALS. SHEEP ARE HOOVES

LIKE MOST RUMINANTS. MOST OF THE

SHEEP WERE FORMERLY WILD SHEEP

THAT WERE FOUND IN THE FORESTS OF

ASIA AND EUROPE. THE WILD SHEEP

WERE AMONG THE FIRST ANIMALS TO

BE TAMED FOR AGRICULTURAL USE.

 THE SNOW LEOPARD (PANTHERA UNCIA), ALSO KNOWN AS

THE OUNCE, IS A FELID IN THE GENUS PANTHERA NATIVE

TO THE MOUNTAIN RANGES OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH

ASIA. IT IS LISTED AS VULNERABLE ON THE IUCN RED LIST

BECAUSE THE GLOBAL POPULATION IS ESTIMATED TO

NUMBER FEWER THAN 10,000 MATURE INDIVIDUALS AND

IS EXPECTED TO DECLINE ABOUT 10% BY 2040. IT IS

THREATENED BY POACHING AND HABITAT DESTRUCTION

FOLLOWING INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTS. IT

INHABITS ALPINE AND SUBALPINE ZONES AT ELEVATIONS

OF 3,000–4,500 M (9,800–14,800 FT), RANGING FROM

EASTERN AFGHANISTAN, THE HIMALAYAS AND THE

TIBETAN PLATEAU TO SOUTHERN SIBERIA, MONGOLIA AND

WESTERN CHINA. IN THE NORTHERN PART OF ITS RANGE,

Snow leopard
IT ALSO LIVES AT LOWER ELEVATIONS.
VEGETATION
The highland vegetation is remarkable

for the absence of trees, large tree-like

shrubs, lianas, climbers, etc. Shrubs are

generally confined to elevations

immediately above the timberline or

grow only in certain specially favourable

localities at higher elevations where also

they tend to become greatly dwarfed.

 THE HIGHLAND AREAS

ACTIVITIES SUCH AS

CULTIVATION IS POSSIBLE.SO

PEOPLE LIVE A NOMADIC WAY

OF LIFE THERE.
