Tundra climates (Köppen ET) are characterized by permafrost (permanently frozen ground) and low-growing vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs. Trees are absent due to the short growing season.
Explanation:
The northeastern states receive heavy rainfall due to the orographic effect of the Himalayas, forcing the moisture-laden monsoon winds to rise and condense.
