Name of the cracks in Antarctica ice cap?
Cracks in any ice cap are called crevasses, and because they are subject to shifting and re-shaping, they are not generally named.Antarctica is covered in an ice sheet, and eruptions in that sheet are called nunataks -- mountain tops. Again, any crack in the ice sheet would be a crevasse and would exist without a name.
A larg ice sheet that can cover land for thousands of years is a?
An ice sheet that covers land for thousands of years is known as a continental ice sheet. These are massive glaciers that form over vast areas due to the accumulation of snow and ice over long periods of time. Examples include the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet.
What are the potential consequences of the Antarctic ice sheet crack on global sea levels and climate change?
The potential consequences of the Antarctic ice sheet crack on global sea levels and climate change include rising sea levels due to increased melting of ice, which can lead to coastal flooding and displacement of communities. Additionally, the release of freshwater from melting ice can disrupt ocean currents and impact global climate patterns.
What percentage sheet of ice does the Antarctica Ice sheet hold?
The ice sheet holds 100% of Antarctica's . . . ice sheet.
What is a sheet of ice?
a sheet of ice is called a glacier
The ice sheet is approximately 1500 meters thick in the Arctic or Antarctica?
The ice sheet exceeds 1500 meters in both of these ice sheets, with the Arctic ice sheet referring to the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Could the ice in Antarctica crack?
The ice in Antarctica does crack forming crevasses. This is common in all ice formations.
Does an alpine glacier or an ice sheet form quicker?
ice sheet
When was The Ice Sheet at Ogden created?
The Ice Sheet at Ogden was created in 1994.
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock erosion or weathering?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
What is the difference between an ice sheet and a ice berg?
An ice sheet is a large mass of glacial ice that covers land, while an iceberg is a large floating mass of ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf and is floating in the ocean. Ice sheets are stationary, while icebergs can drift with ocean currents.
What happens when ice grows in rocks?
As water in the crack turns into ice, the ice expands and may widen the crack, even splitting the rock.
