All over the earth, icebergs are formed by glaciers that flow into the sea forming an ice tongue. Once the ocean water waves separate the tongue from the glacier, an iceberg is calved into the sea.
Snow is formed when it 'rains' but obviously it is too cold for any precipitation to come out as rain so it comes at like snow like we would have if it was below 0 degrees celsius (32 degrees fahrenheit).
Another Answer
There is no snow in Antarctica: crystals are blowing ice. Humidity is less than five percent on the continent.
Ice in Antarctica melts like any other ice in any other place melts: heat and melted ice -- running water -- cause ice to melt.
It formed when land masses moved away from Pangea
Ice is the result of freezing water and the atmosphere is the source of the water that freezes on the continent.
they originally originate from heavily populated areas, then form a chunk of ice resulting in an iceburg
it comes from a mountain of ice then big blocks of ice fall of it into the ocean and becomes a iceberg
Ice
No animals live permanently on the Antarctic continent or in its polar ice cap.
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 98% of the continent, contains about 90% of earth's ice and 70% of the earth's fresh water.
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
The ice sheet you're thinking of covers 98% of the continent.
meteorites... :)
There is no food web in Antarctica's ice sheets, cap or glaciers.
Crevasse not to be confused with crevice
There is a polar ice cap covering about 98% of the Antarctic continent.
Yes.Most of the Antarctic continent is covered in frozen fresh water. It forms the polar ice cap.
We refer to the polar ice cap biome as the regions of the planet covered by ice most of the year. This includes large portions of the arctic and antarctic.
The ice cap -- which includes the ice shelves -- doubles the size of the Antarctic continent in winter.
