Wind is a limiting factor because as wind wipes through Antarctica, it blows snow and ice throughout the biome so it blows and freezes vegetation around the area and causes blizzards against the organisms in the biome d. Sunlight is a limiting factor in Antarctica because there is no vegetation to shade organisms from the sunlight, but it is so cold in the biome that the sunlight does not create this biome to change temperature; however, without the sunlight, many…

there is, it’s dispersed evenly throughout the year. The tundra’s terrain isn’t very good at absorbing the precipitation, so the ground becomes muddy during the summer.

here will drain into the Atlantic Ocean. While the water is traveling to its destination it provides many services along the way. Wetlands help provide coastline security and water quality protection to the surrounding areas. Roots, trees, and all vegetation in coastal accomplish this task by storing and releasing current water. When plants store the water it will prevent high coastal impact from waves, by slowing down the current speed. This process will help make the damage to the shore…
