Human adaptations in Arctic Tundra
Behavioural Adaptions
Painting their houses whatever color they want
To easily recognise their own home even under thick snow
Helping others/being very nice
Because they know how others feel and have experienced it before, so they know how others feel which is why they help them out.
Wearing suitable clothes for their environment
They wear clothes such as thick jackets and snow boots because of the cold environment, and also the slippery floors, the snow boots allow them to walk easily on the ice and snow
Entertainment
They have lots of different snow activities (like sleighs, sled, skiing, etc.) because the snow there is very thick.
Often went skiing and sledding
It snows a lot in Alaska, so they often go sledding and skiing on the slopes.
Structural Adaptations
Wearing thick clothes and snow boots
To cope with cool temperature and snow
Walking through thick and deep snow everyday
snow can layer up and get really deep, causing the people there to have to walk through deep and thick snow. Sometimes even making you stuck.
Coping with late sun rises and early nights
They have to adapt to the darkness until around 11 during the day. and at around 5 pm. This makes them have to have some source of light if they want to see clearly.
Functional Adaptations
Changing the way they dress by wearing thick clothes
To prevent frostbites and freezing
Scraping the ice and snow off their cars
They have to do this because they can't see anything when driving with a car full of snow on top.
Learning to predict weather
The ways of telling the weather could range from using crickets to making high tech machines.
Navigating boats in ice
So they can fish even in extreme weather
Food
They have adapted to eat seal, walrus, fish and reindeer. (sometimes raw meat)
