The desert and tundra biomes have very different temperatures as well as extremely different plants and animals. The desert can get very hot during the day, but cool off quickly at night. It has sandy soil and supports very little plant life. Animals found in the desert include lizards, javelinas, Gila monsters, coyotes, bobcats, scorpions, and kangaroo rats. The tundra is cold, dry, and often dark. The average temperature is about 10°F. The soil below the surface is permanently frozen, and is called permafrost. A few types of plants grow during the short summer season. Animals found in the tundra include caribou, foxes, wolves, and Arctic hares.

Tundras and deserts have a number of similarities such as their lack of water or how organisms that inhabit them are have special features to survive their extreme weather. Both are nearly unsustainable for human life and have just like the tundra, deserts have freezing temperatures at night.

Which statement describes John Tuzo Wilson’s contribution to the theory of plate tectonics?
enyata [817]

John Tuzo Wilson developed crucial concepts that related to plate tectonics in 1963.

                He asserted that the Hawaiian, and other island chains, may have formed due to movement of a plate over a "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle.

[Note: A __Hotspot___  is an area of abnormally intense active volcanism.]

              He also argued that there must be a third type of plate boundary to connect ridges and trenches- which are called transform faults. These allowed for plates to slide past one another without oceanic crust being created or destroyed.
