Ursus maritimus is the scientific name for polar bear.The polar bears are found in the tundra biome. Tundra is the coldest and driest biome on earth. It is found in the Greenland, coastal zones of the Artic and Alaska, northern Canada and northern Russia. It receives very little rainfall. It exhibit long, winters and short summers.

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community

explanation:

the fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species.
