2. **The Tundra**: Found in the Arctic and high altitudes, it is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and low precipitation.
3. **Permafrost**: This is a layer of soil or rock that remains **permanently frozen** throughout the year. It prevents deep root growth and the drainage of water.
4. **Vegetation**: Due to the short growing season and permafrost, the Tundra has no trees; it is dominated by mosses, lichens, and small shrubs.
