What landforms are in Antarctica?

Answer 1

The Transantarctic Mountains separate this vast, ice-covered land into East Antarctica, a landmass about the size of Australia, and West Antarctica, a collection of islands.

East Antarctica, which contains the South Pole, is covered by a huge ice dome rising from coastal plains to a high plateau. West Antarctica is mountainous and contains several active volcanoes.

Answer 2

On planet earth, there are several categories of landforms, including Valleys, Plateaus, Mountains, Plains, Hills, Loess and Glaciers.

You can find them all in Antarctica with the exception of Loess.

In addition, about 98% of the continent is covered in frozen, fresh water ice.
there are many land forms in Antarctica including Vinson massif, Mount tyree, Mount Shinn, Mount Craddick and Mount Epperlypooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Antarctica is completely covered in ice and can grow/shrink by 13% of it's total mass due to ice melting and refreezing. Antarctica can have winters that last up to 6 months because the pole are affected by the 22.2 and 24.5 degree tilt, so when the Earth rotates it doesn't rotate out of the shadows. Antarctica is desolate and has little evidence of supporting plant life, things that have been found are things like moss and frozen algae. The largest shelf is the Ross Shelf and spans 30kms.

Answer 4

Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet that contains about 90% of the Earth's store of ice and about 70% of the Earth's store of fresh water.

Peeking out above the ice sheet in spots are nunataks -- the tops of mountains.

Answer 5

Glaciers, desert, ice mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, nunatak, ice fields, peninsulas, ice bergs

Answer 6

Visible from sea water, your main clue that land is near is ice.

Answer 7

Ice.
