    What surprised me was that 1,700 species grow in the tundra. I learned that sometimes the sun doesn’t rise for a number. I also learned that if climate change is extreme, it is hard for species to survive.

    The thing that suprised me was that sometimes the sun doesn’t rise for a number of days! That really suprised me. One thing I learned was that if the artic summers were 50 degrees or higher then it would melt the top of the permafrost layer. Another thing that I learned was that 1,700 spieces grow in the Tundra. All the things that I read in your post was new to me! Good job!!

    I didn’t know that sheep lived in tundras. I also didn’t know that squirrels lived in tundras. I am surprised that there are tundras in the Andes.
