No. The northern polar region is the Arctic Ocean. Although much of it is deep open sea, the pole is permanently covered by ice. Much of the ocean is also covered by moving pack ice for most of the year.
The closest islands to the North Pole are Ellesmere Island in Canada, the tiny island Kaffeklubben off Greenland, and the northern islands of Russia, which include Zemlya Frantsa (Franz Josef Land), Severnaya Zemlya, and the New Siberian Islands.
The Arctic is not a country, it is a geographical region referred to by its closeness to the North Pole.
The term 'Arctic' is not defined with precision. Its meaning originates from the Greek word for 'Great Bear' or 'Big Dipper'. These are names of the constellation which points to the 'North Star' or 'Polaris'.
The common meaning for Arctic is the area surrounding the North Pole that is contained within the Arctic Circle.
Another meaning is the area north of the tree line, i.e., the line north of which which trees do not grow. Yet a third meaning is the area north of the 10 degrees celsius/50 degrees Fahrenheit isotherm. These latter two lines are not identical, but are fairly close to one another.
The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line drawn around the North Pole. On the day of the summer solstice, the sun does not set at the Arctic Circle. Likewise, on the day of the winter solstice, the sun does not rise.
Because the Earth is wobbling slightly, it is not possible to fix the exact location of the Arctic Circle. Over a cycle of 40,000 years, it varies by up to 2.5 degrees. For that matter, it is not possible to fix the exact location of the North Pole either.
Currently, the Arctic Circle is located at the parallel of latitude which is approximately 66°33′ north.
No. Much of the high Arctic is water, which means it is frozen for much or all of the season. But there is much more to the Arctic than ice, especially at lower latitudes of the Arctic (the Arctic is defined in different ways depending on what the interest is). Much of the Arctic that is not ice is tundra, and much of the soil in this tundra is permanently frozen (permafrost). But there are also boreal forests and rich ecosystems in the lower Arctic, as well as plenty of people. The Arctic consists of parts of countries such as Russia, those in Scandinavia, Iceland, Canada, and the United States.
i need help to with my report, and is due tomorrow.
Yes, there is an Ocean called the Arctic Ocean.
yes it is.
Greenland
a plain or a sheet of ice
its coldest
Ether The Arctic Lowlands,Canadian shield possibly the cordillera region
I think you mean tundra, which is the landform found in the arctic. The tundra often blooms in the brief summer.
What is a landform
no it is not a landform!
YES! it is landform
landform
landform is a thing.
it's land
Would the western plains of America be considered a landform.
It is a physical landform, yes.
