Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periglacial environments are characterized by cold, frozen ground and limited vegetation due to the harsh climatic conditions. Tundra is a climate type that is characterized by a short growing season and long, cold winters. These conditions create an environment where permafrost (frozen ground) is widespread and is a key feature of periglacial environments. Mesothermal, humid continental and desert climates, on the other hand, are not typically associated with permafrost and therefore are less likely to support periglacial environments.
