Polar Zone
The Polar Zone refers to the regions of the Earth located near the North and South Poles, specifically within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. These areas are characterized by extremely cold temperatures, ice-covered landscapes, and long periods of daylight in summer and darkness in winter. The climate is harsh, with limited vegetation primarily consisting of mosses, lichens, and some hardy grasses.
In the Polar Zone, wildlife has adapted to the severe conditions. Animals such as polar bears, penguins, and seals thrive in these environments, relying on the ice and cold waters for hunting and breeding. The Polar Zone plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate and is sensitive to changes caused by global warming.
