What is winds that blow off the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland are?
Katabatic
Difference between katabatic wind and anabatic wind?
Katabatic winds blow down from high mountains, plateaus and hills to valleys and plains below, whereas Anabatic winds are totally opposite of it. (Vice Versa)(also they can shit)
What are Winds in the high latitudes that flow out of the Arctic and Antarctic regions?
In Antarctica, the winds are known as Katabatic winds. In the Arctic, the winds are known as Squamish winds.
What are Katabatic winds?
From Wikipedia:"A katabatic wind, from the Greek word katabatikosmeaning "going downhill", is the technical name for a drainage wind, a wind that carries high density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity."In Antarctica, katabatic winds swirl down to the beach -- about 750 miles -- from the elevated South Pole, which sits at an elevation of 9,300' (2900m), however the equivalent pressure elevation, based on polar atmospheric conditions, will vary from 10,800 (3300m) to 13,120 (4,000m).
In what direction does a trade wind blow?
Trade Winds blow fast and in Pretty much any direction. That's why sailors try to sail there often.

Can you get blizzards in antarctica?
Blizzards are constant on the Antarctic continent, specifically caused by Katabatic winds that blow off the polar plateau, and which are driven by the rotation of the Earth.
The letter k in an ABC book for Antarctica?

How fast do winds blow on neptunes winds storm?
A little ove 750 mph that is
Why do katabatic winds affect Antarctica?
Katabatic winds can howl across the continent, down the polar plateau, and achieve hurricane force. These winds move ice crystals around the continent and sometimes force scientists to remain indoors until the winds subside.
What are Winds in the high latitudes that flow out of the Arctic and Antarctic regions?
In Antarctica, the winds are known as Katabatic winds. In the Arctic, the winds are known as Squamish winds.
How fast do the winds blow on Jupiter?

How fast can solar winds blow?
800+ km/s.
What weather Factor determines how fast winds blow?
I have no idea

What winds blow around the South Pole that prevent warmer air from entering the region?
You're thinking of katabatic winds, driven by the rotation of the hearth and the rush of cold air flowing downhill from the 9,000 ft-above-sea level polar plateau.
