Write major characteristics of polar region.

1.	Write major characteristics of polar region.
Answer» Poles are present on both the edges of the earth. Arctic Sea is present on the North Pole and Antarctica continent is present on the South Pole. Sunrays fall slanting on the poles, so the quantity of solar heat is always less here, due to which they remain covered with snow for the entire year. There is lack of vegetation here. Eskimos tribal people reside here in such rigid geographical conditions. They build small houses made of snow and heat them from inside and live there. These houses are called ‘Igloo’. Fishing is their main occupation and way of earning livelihood. Seal, walrus and polar bear are also found here.
