Which three planets have polar ice caps?
Earth and Mars are the only planets known to have polar ice caps. Yes, I agree. However there is a possibility that Mercury has some ice in deep craters at the poles.
Does Venus have polar ice caps?
Sort of, depending on who is talking... As seen through a modestly good telescope, the poles show white caps that grow and shrink with the seasons. They are not solid caps of ice, metres or even kilometres thick, such as we have on Earth, but just a thin frost of carbon dioxide crystals ("dry ice") and water crystals (snow or hoar frost) mainly on the ground surface. There is more material underground, but not very much and not visible from off the planet. If that is what you are willing to call a planetary ice cap, then the answer is yes. If not, then bad luck! No!
What planet has polar ice caps?
MarsEarthEarth
Is it true that there are no polar caps on the moon?
It is true that there are no polar caps on the moon. The only thing that us found in the moon is the ice cap.
What is the state of matter of the ice caps on the North Pole?
The ice caps at the North Pole are solid.
Where are the polar ice caps?
Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.
What kind of soil is in the polar ice caps?
Well....there is no land below the north pole...south has a lot of ice on top....
What exactly is a polar ice cap?
A polar ice cap is a high latitude part of a planet which is covered in ice. There are polar ice caps on other planets not just on earth. There is some known to be on Mars too. Polar ice caps form because of the lack of sunlight which gets to them. They are in the North and South pole.
What country have a polar ice cap?
Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.
Which pole contains the largest ice cap north or south pole?
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)
Are polar caps melting faster or slower?
Polar ice caps are melting faster than before. Every summer practically, the amount of sea ice remaining at the North Pole is smaller than before. The melting is being caused by global warming.
What kind of ice is the north and south pole made of?
caps
Where are the melting ice caps?
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
Where are ice caps located on earth?
The North Pole, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean are all examples of where ice caps are located
Polar ice caps 1750?
The polar ice caps were said to have formed on the North Atlantic ice edges beginning in 1750. Their formation kept evolving until roughly 1966.
