The document discusses the polar climate. It is located within the Arctic and Antarctic circles between 65-90 degrees north and south latitude. The polar climate is characterized by low temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius year-round, scarce precipitation, intense winds, and thick ice cover. Vegetation is limited to mosses, lichens, and small shrubs. Animal life has adapted to the harsh conditions. Human settlements are sparse but include parts of Russia, the US, Canada, Denmark and Norway. Economic activities in the region focus on oil, gas, coal, fishing and fur trading.

5. POLAR CLIMATE LOCATION
The natural means of the cold zone or polar means are located between the Arctic and Antarctic
polar circles and the corresponding north and south poles, between 65 ° and 90 ° north and south
latitudes. In addition, the polar climate is subdivided into tundra and ice or glacial.

6. POLAR CLIMATETEMPERATURES
The polar or icy climate is characterized by having almost permanently temperatures below 0 ° C
And little precipitation. The humidity in the air is non-existent and the wind is usually quite intense, which makes the
living conditions in this climate even more hostile.

7. POLAR CLIMATE PRECIPITATIONS
Scarce rainfall. The humidity in the air is non-existent and the wind is usually quite intense

8. POLAR CLIMATE RIVERS
The rain is practically nonexistent and the few precipitations fall in the form of snow. For
that reason, the polar landscape is almost always covered with a thick blanket of ice
and, consequently, it is spoken of cold deserts.

9. POLAR CLIMATEVEGETATION
During the summer months moss, lichens and scrub grow on the tundra.
In places sheltered from the strong polar winds especially in the valleys,
forests grow, formed mainly by willows and birches.

10. POLAR CLIMATE WILDLIFE
The fauna has had to adapt to the climatic
conditions, as is the case of Arctic fox and hare,
polar bear and some kinds of birds, for example
partridge. Other species less endowed to
withstand the cold temperatures, like the mice,
construct tunnels under the ground to protect
against the rigor of the same ones.

11. POLAR CLIMATE POPULATION
There are few human settlements in the polar region north of Earth. Countries with claims in Arctic regions
are the United States (Alaska), Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, and Russia. The people who live
in these regions often share more characteristics in common than with the people of the country to which
they belong. However, the northern polar region is diverse in both human settlements and cultures

12. POLAR CLIMATE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
States that have territories included in this region, USA, Canada,
Russia and the Scandinavian countries, have developed an
important exploitation of the great economic resources of the
zone. The oil fields of Alaska and the Mackenzie region, as well
as the coal holdings of the Kolima estuary, of iron in Canada or of
gold in Siberia, have acquired significant significance. Another
economic resource in the region is fishing for native species (such
as whale or cod) and trade in furs, such as fox or mink.
