What is permafrost and why is it treeless?
Permafrost is a thick layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year. The extremely cold temperatures and limited nutrient availability in permafrost regions make it difficult for trees to establish and thrive, resulting in treeless landscapes.
Biome with frozen soil?
The biome with frozen soil is known as a tundra. The permanently frozen layer of soil is called permafrost and it can be found in Arctic and Antarctic tundra regions. The cold temperatures and short growing season in tundras make it difficult for plants to grow, resulting in a unique ecosystem adapted to these harsh conditions.
What percentage of the earth's land surface is covered by plants?
Approximately 30% of the Earth's land surface is covered by plants. This plant life plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems, providing habitats for animals, and contributing to the planet's oxygen production.
What elements and their percentage make up the earth atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases make up the remaining percentage in smaller proportions.
Deserts make up 35 of the Earth's land mass-true or false?
False. Deserts actually make up around 33% of the Earth's land mass.
How much of earths land percentage is desert?
Deserts make up 33% of the Land's surface

What percentage is the desert biome?
Deserts make up 33% of the land surface of the earth.
What happens when permafrost melts in the summer?
As the name suggests the permafrost is permanently frozen, summer and winter. The surface may have some liquid water, but the deeper layers are cold enough not to thaw. This situation is changing as global climate change progresses. The permafrost will disappear leaving vast tracts of boggy land that are not capable of walking on (bad news for the communities and migrating herds of caribou). In addition the melting permafrost will release vast quantities of methane gas which will make climate change even more severe.
What was the primary goal or Peter the great and when he was in the Czar of Russia?

Riots and dissatisfaction due to sky high redemption payments peasants had to make on their land.
What is the estimated percentage of the earth's land surface that is classified as desert?
Deserts make up about 33% of the Earth's surface
Would the Russian tundra be a good place to develop agriculturally?
The Russian tundra is not ideal for agriculture due to its harsh climate, short growing season, and poor soil quality. The extreme cold temperatures and permafrost make it difficult to cultivate crops or maintain livestock. Additionally, the limited sunlight and lack of infrastructure pose further challenges for agricultural development in this region.
How does permafrost make it difficult for plants to grow?
In geology, permafrost or permafrost soil is soil at or below the freezing point of water (0 °C or 32 °F) for two or more years. Ice is not always present, as may be in the case of nonporous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material.
What percentage of desert covers earth's land?
Yes, about 1/3 of the earth's land surface is covered by deserts.
