Antarctica primarily consists of polar deserts and ice sheets. The continent has very limited vegetation and animal life due to its extreme cold temperatures and icy conditions. Coastal areas may have some tundra and mosses, but the interior is mainly covered by ice and snow.
Because Argentina is south of the Equator, the seasons are the reverse of Europe, North America and much of Asia, being similar to Australia. Summer in Buenos Aires (months of January and February) is quite hot and humid, while winter is damp and chilly. Rain falls throughout the year, from 100 cm per year (39 inches) in Buenos Aires to less than 50 cm (20 inches) in Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes.
Average annual temperatures range from 24°C (75°F) to 11°C (51°F) in Buenos Aires (sea level) and Córdoba (420m/1270ft), and 24°C (75°F) to 8°C (46°F) in Mendoza (820 m/2484ft).
Further south the weather becomes colder with a mean temperature of 0 degrees in winter for the city of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego.
Argentina has a temperate climate with temperatures ranging from 94°F (35°C) in January to 50°F (10°C) in July. The heaviest rain falls occur during Autumn and Spring, though rain can be expected at any time of the year. Many locals can be found during the hot summer months (December, January and February) at Argentinian coastal resorts.
Argentina is large enough to have several types of climates. The south is colder than the north but it is basically quite temperate.
There are very few tropical rain forest in Argentina because we were learning about Argentina in my school and also Rugby there is a game on February 12 2011 if you were wondering and again there very few rain forest in Argentina but yes there are at least one rain forest in Argentina also because Argentina parts meet the Hermes line or the equator! Any questions? Well......Bye!
Comodoro Rivadavia features a semiarid climate. While the city receives less than 250 mm of rain annually, its relatively low evapotranspiration rate causes it to fall under this climate category. Summer is relatively hot and dry. Winter is mild and it's the time of the year when most of the precipitation falls.

Is there a sharp border between two biomes?
Biomes can have transitional areas called ecotones where the characteristics of two different biomes blend together. While there may not be a distinct sharp border between biomes, there are usually identifiable changes in vegetation, climate, and biodiversity as you move from one biome to another. Environmental factors such as temperature, precipitation, and soil type can influence the transition between biomes.

Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.

bimes are a type of a ecosystems
Which terrestrial biomes have the poorest biodiversity?
Mountain tops and deserts have low biodiversity, especially in Antarctica.
Where would you might find cold desert biomes?
Cold desert biomes are typically found at high altitudes in regions like the Tibetan Plateau, the Andes Mountains, or the Rocky Mountains. They can also be found in polar regions like Antarctica and the Arctic. These areas have low precipitation, sparse vegetation, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
