Polar

Regions

 Polar Regions!
Polar regions are an icy type of desert. They
have heavy snowfall and big stretches of ice
(also called ice deserts).Almost no plants can
grow here .Some animals, such as polar bears
and penguins, are adapted to living in this
environment. Life in the planet’s polar regions
can be incredibly difficult. Bitterly cold winds
whip across the landscape. Winter temperatures
can reach deep into the negatives, and the
winter night can last for months. But these
seemingly barren landscapes are home to a rich
diversity of wildlife—both on land and under
the sea surface.
 Climate Of
Polar Regions
The polar climate regions are characterized by a
lack of warm summers but with varying winters.
Every month in a polar climate has an average
temperature of less than 10 °C (50 °F).
 Habitat Of Polar Regions

Polar habitats are located at the very top and very bottom of the
Earth. They are cold, windy and have a lot of snow and ice. It’s
even too cold for trees to grow.

Percentage Of Polar Regions
Regions with polar climate
cover more than 20% of the
Earth's area. Most of these
regions are far from the equator
and near the poles, and in this
case, winter days are extremely
short and summer days are
extremely long (could last for
the entirety of each season or
longer).
