Harsh landscapes are environments that are difficult for living organisms to thrive in due to extreme conditions. Examples include deserts, where temperatures can soar during the day and drop significantly at night, and mountain ranges, which often feature steep slopes and cold climates. These areas typically have limited vegetation and water sources, making survival challenging. Another type of harsh landscape is the tundra, characterized by its cold temperatures and short growing seasons. The ground is often frozen, limiting plant growth and making it hard for animals to find food. These landscapes, while tough, are home to specially adapted species that can endure the severe conditions.
