These climate types are found in polar regions near the North and South Poles. They are characterized by cold temperatures, short summers, and long winters, with tundras having a bit more moderate temperatures compared to ice caps.
Ice Cap, Subarctic, Tundra, and Humid Continental
The correct order from coldest to warmest is: ice cap, tundra, subarctic, humid continental. Ice cap regions are the coldest with permanent ice, followed by tundra areas with cold temperatures, subarctic regions with slightly warmer climates, and humid continental areas with more moderate temperatures.
Ice cap climates are typically found near the poles, covering areas like Greenland and Antarctica. Tundra climates are found slightly farther from the poles, circling the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and include areas like northern Canada and Russia.
Tropical: Tropical rainforest, tropical monsoon, tropical savanna. Dry: Desert, semi-arid. Temperate: Mediterranean, humid subtropical. Continental: Humid continental, subarctic. Polar: Tundra, ice cap. Alpine: High mountain climates.
Some well-known landforms in the subarctic region include permafrost, taiga forests, tundra, and rivers such as the Yukon River in North America. Glaciers and ice caps are also common in the subarctic, shaping the landscape with their movement and melting patterns.
