Unlike the arctic region in the north, Antarctica is a continent. It is land, and there are actually some exposed sections of the land. Most of the continent is covered by thick ice sheets. Any ice in the Arctic region is floating on water.
There is actually no land underneath all the ice, it is speculated that that land would show signs of once existing, but it froze over and is not in much of a position to thaw out anytime soon.
Antarctica is land covered by ice while the Arctic is just a solid piece of ice. the statement above is...WRONG!! The arctic is mostly land. Yes it has ice, but mostly land. The antarctic is 98 percent ICE. So really nethir are "completely" ice, but antarctica is the winner.
Besides proteins, ribosomes consist of r-RNA.
It's covered with an ice layer 9 miles thick in places, what you see on Google earth is once massive glacier. Because of "global warming" the polar caps are heating up, since Ice melts in heat, and Antarctica is one giant "ice cube" it melts...
Antarctica has a land mass of 14,000,000 sq km and is covered in a permanent ice cap up to several kilometres thick. North Pole is a polar ice cap floating on the Arctic Ocean, there is no land under it.
regular ice is made up of from water that is in a freezer.
Antarctica is a continent, 98% of which is covered by ice.
Antarctica is a continent made up of the same materials that make up all continents. Ninety-eight percent of the continent, however, is covered with an ice sheet.
Antarctica is 10% of the surface of the Earth, and is made up of land. However, 98% of it is covered by an ice sheet.
Antarctica is 10% of the surface of the Earth, and is made up of land. However, 98% of it is covered by an ice sheet.
yes because the islands are turned into ice and that ice is apart of Antarctica
Antarctica is a continent which is 100% land. However, 98% of the continent is covered by an ice sheet. So there is more land than ice.
Antarctica is a continent -- the driest on earth. It is, however, covered by an ice sheet that contains about 90% of the earth's ice and about 70% of the earth's fresh water. Otherwise, it is land.
There is no snow to speak of in Antarctica: there's not enough humidity to produce snow. Blizzards are made up of blowing ice crystals.
The ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica is 70% of the earth's store of fresh water, made up of oxygen and hydrogen. Neither of these is considered a mineral.
One hundred percent of Antarctica is made of land. The land is covered -- 98% of it -- by an ice sheet that stores about 70% of the earth's fresh water and about 90% of the earth's ice.
There are no states or countries on Antarctica.
The Arctic is the area around the North Pole and Antarctica is the continent at the South Pole. The Arctic is not actually land but a combination of ice and water, by contrast, the Antarctic is a continent and landmass covered in ice. The Arctic is in the North and Antarctica is in the South. They are both at the Earth's poles but the Arctic is made up of solely ice and is just a collection of large ice caps. Antarctica is actually a continent with ice and solid land too. The biggest difference is that the Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a frozen continent surrounded by an ocean.
