The tundra is an unusually cold and dry climate. Precipitation  totals 6-10 inches of rain a year, which includes melted snow. This  is almost as little as the world's dries â¦ t deserts. Coupled with  strong and drying winds, the tundra is an extreme weather biome.
In alpine tundra, where permafrost is absent or. patchy, the shallow bedrock or layers of rock near the. soilâs surface block water drainage and create some of. the same landscape features that permafrost does. TUNDRA WETLANDS. Although precipitation in arctic tundra is similar to. that of deserts (5 inches â12.7 centimeters â or less), the water has nowhere to go once it hits the. permafrost. The soil above the permafrost or bedrock, called the active layer , becomes saturated like a wet. sponge. The results are (1) wetlands typical of much. wetter environments and (2) freeze-thaw landforms. of tundra topography. The tundra contains ponds, lakes, bogs, marshes, and. river and stream corridor wetlands.
