Topography? Landscape?

Question

I need to find out the topography of the tundra, however, I don't know what it means or could possible be. Also, I don't know what the landscape of the tundra is either, or is it the same thing?

Answer 1

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. Tundra is separated into two types: arctic tundra and alpine tundra.

Answer 2

In physical geography, tundra is an area where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term "tundra" comes from Kildin Sami tūndâr 'uplands, tundra, treeless mountain tract'. There are three types of tundra: Arctic tundra, Antarctic tundra, and alpine tundra. In all of these types, the dominant vegetation is grasses, mosses, and lichens. Trees grow in some of the tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree-line or timberline.

Answer 3

Tunda is mostly referred to as "Frozen Tundra" - areas of the earth that are covered by permafrost - characterized by short, rough grasses and short evergreen trees. Much of this land is wavy and jagged, formed from glacial activity.
