Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of tundra: arctic tundra and alpine tundra. You can find them in both arctic and antarctic regions. The arctic tundra can be found at various elevations while the alpine tundra exists only on mountains.

Detailed explanation-2: -The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arctic and subarctic biomes are found near the north and south poles or at high altitudes in other climate zones. The biomes include tundra and boreal forests.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere, encircling the north pole and extending south to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic is known for its cold, desert-like conditions. The growing season ranges from 50 to 60 days.

Detailed explanation-5: -Taiga climate is only found in the northern hemisphere, because there isn’t enough land mass in the southern hemisphere to create a taiga climate there.
