ConclusionThank you

the tundra most impacted biome, maybe it is. Most people don’t know about the tundra biome, I didn’t . More people should know about the tundra ,it is all over the

world, everyone makes it melt. Going to and from school or work everyday in different

cars, the tundra melts more.
