How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
What ocean surrounds north pole?
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean. SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
Where is the majority of the earths freshwater found?
In the Antarctica and Arctic regions, the freshwater is stored as ice.
What are the 3 major ice sheets that once covered Canada?
There were three main ice sheets in Canada, the Laurentide and the much smaller Cordilleran in the west and Innuitian in the Arctic
How have animals in the Arctic been affected by the ice cap melting?
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.
How much more ice has the arctic over Antarctica?
There is much more ice covering Antarctica -- about 90% of the earth's store of ice -- than in the Arctic.
How much on average do minimum arctic ice levels decrease every decade?
Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.3 percentper decade.
What is an arctic ice caps?
It is an ice cap (ice berg) found in the arctic.
How much food is left for the Arctic Hare?

When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
How much has the arctic ice pack lost due to global warming?
Nothing at all.
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
Is Antarctica the only ice desert?
Yes, the Antarctic Desert is a true ice (or polar) desert. Those parts of the Arctic that occur on land are better described as tundra. Much of the Arctic is either open sea or frozen sea ice.
Are diamonds mined in the arctic?
NOTHING is mined in the arctic. The arctic is only ice.
Where is most of earth's ice is found?
Most of earth's ice is piled up on Antarctica (the south pole). To a much lesser extent there is ice over the arctic and Greenland.
Is the Arctic melting?
YES the Arctic has seen ice loss.
Is it the Arctic or the Antarctic region that is solid ice?
The arctic is is mostly ice. Antarctica is a continent that is included in the antarctic region.
