The Tundra

Question 22 • Environmental Science A

Which of the following statements about the tundra is not true?

Answer
A
The tundra has limited vegetation.
B
There are two main categories of the tundra biome.
C
Temperatures in the tundra can get below -20° F.
D
The tundra biome does not support animal life.

Explanation

The tundra does support animal life, including animals such as caribou, Arctic foxes, and lemmings, though relatively few species can survive its harsh conditions. The other statements are true: tundra vegetation is limited, it is commonly divided into two main categories, and temperatures can fall below −20°F. Therefore, “The tundra biome does not support animal life” is not true.
