Where are ice caps located on earth?
Ice caps are located at the North and South Poles of the Earth. The Arctic region near the North Pole has the Arctic ice cap, while the Antarctic region near the South Pole has the Antarctic ice cap. These ice caps are covered by thick layers of ice and snow, helping to regulate the Earth's climate.
Are Antarctic animals are endangered because of the ice caps melting?
Yes, Antarctic animals are at risk due to the melting ice caps caused by climate change. As the ice melts, it affects the habitats and food sources of animals like penguins, seals, and krill. This disruption can lead to population decline and endangerment of these species.
There are two ice caps on Earth what are their names?
