High Latitude – They receive a relatively small amount of insolation due to the low angle of the overhead sun.
High altitude – Temperatures decline on average of 1 °C per 100m climbed.
Albedo rate – They reflect large amounts of solar radiation. Average absorption is 40%. Dark soils is 90% and Ice, only 10%.

Low air temperatures – Since cold air is only able to hold small amounts of moisture.
High pressure conditions - This reduces the amount of precipitation.
Continentality – In the Arctic, rainfall declines away from oceans as depressions progressively lose moisture.

Physical Weathering
1. Rainwater or snow-melt collects in cracks in the rocks.
2. At night the temperatures drops and the water
freezes and expands. 3. The increases in volume of the ice exerts pressure
on the cracks in the rock, causing them to split further open.
4. During the day the ice melts and the water seeps
deeper into the cracks. 5. At night the water freezes again….etc.
