ice
No plant can grow on the polar icecaps as it is made of ice and has no soil, not to mention the extreme cold.
No. Caribou live on the tundra, not the ice caps. There is no vegetation that caribou can eat on ice-caps, thus they are only able to live on the tundra.
it is too cold for crops to grow
Mars, Earth, and Pluto have polar ice caps. Mars' polar ice caps are primarily made of water and carbon dioxide ice, Earth's polar ice caps are primarily made of frozen water, and Pluto's polar ice caps are a mixture of methane and nitrogen ice.
Mars is the planet with ice caps that change in size with the seasons. These polar ice caps are composed of water and carbon dioxide ice. They grow during the Martian winter and shrink during the Martian summer.
Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.
Mars has polar ice caps that change in size with the seasons. The polar ice caps on Mars are predominantly made of water ice and carbon dioxide ice (dry ice) and they grow and recede with the planet's changing seasons.
Vegetation on ice caps is limited and consists mainly of mosses, lichens, and algae that can withstand extreme cold temperatures and sparse nutrients. These plants are adapted to grow in harsh environments with short growing seasons. Additionally, some hardy grasses and sedges may grow on the edges of ice caps where conditions are slightly milder.
grow page 17 huh, deserts
I am no expert in Science, but because these are "ice caps" they would be made out of H2O (water) molecules, but how they got there I don't have a clue. I hope this is the correct answer, Im not to sure......
although no other vegetation can grow here, linhens- or funguslike plants and mosses- can live on rocks.
No, nothing grows on ice caps.
