I need to find all files, that ends with .log in directory /var and all its trees-directories; and to write ten last lines of each of these *.log files

cd /var sudo find -name '*.log' -print

This command allows me to find these files. What I see is:
./log/auth.log ./log/Xorg.0.log .... ./log/apt/term.log .log/alternatives.log
I've tried to use
for var in sudo find -name '*.log'; do tail -n 10 $var; done to print the lines, but there was an error. So what command should I use in order to find files and print the lines?

Try this:

find /var -name "*.log" -type f -exec tail '' +

Explanation:

-type f - find only files

-exec <command> + - execute command. See man find for more information

Or:

for i in $(find /var -name "*.log" -type f); do echo $i; tail $i; done

Gets the same output but with slight format difference
