Question

Most of the Tundra region is
A) Iceless
B) Treeless
C) Manless
D) Forestless

Answer 1

Hint: Tundra is a type of biome in physical geography, where the tree growth is hindered by short growing seasons and low temperatures. Tundra vegetation is composed of mosses, dwarf shrubs, grasses and sedges, and lichens.

Complete answer:
Tundra biome is a zone of treeless level or rolling ground found in the cold regions, mostly north of Arctic Circle called Arctic tundra or above the timberline on the high mountains called alpine tundra. Tundra biome is known for very large stretches of bare ground and rock and for many patchy mantles of low vegetation such as lichens, mosses, small shrubs, and herbs. Its vegetation is usually scattered, although it can be patchy reflecting the changes in soil and the moisture gradients. This surface supports a unique variety of animals. The Finns used to call their treeless northern reaches the Tunturi. But, the Russians developed the concept of the vast frozen plain as a special ecological realm called tundra. There are three regions and associated types of tundra are Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra.
The global extent of the tundra biome is roughly ten percent of our Earth’s surface. The southern limit of the Arctic tundra follows the northern edge of the coniferous forest belt. In Eurasia, the northward bulge of the forest occurs as a result of warmer summers that occur over that large contiguous landmass.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: Because nearly all of Antarctica is covered with ice, it lacks well-developed tundra, though lichens and mosses. In more favorable habitats, at least three species of flowering plants occur.
