Is mars the only planet with ice caps?
No, Mars is not the only planet with ice caps. Other celestial bodies, such as Earth and some of Jupiter's moons, like Europa, also have ice caps or icy surfaces. Mars features polar ice caps primarily composed of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, which grow and recede with the changing seasons. Additionally, some dwarf planets, like Pluto, have been observed to have icy regions as well.
What plants grow in the ice caps?
No plant can grow on the polar icecaps as it is made of ice and has no soil, not to mention the extreme cold.
Do caribou live in the ice caps?
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.
Why is there no vegetation on the ice caps regions?
it is too cold for crops to grow
Which three planets have polar ice caps?
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.
This planet has ice caps which change in size with the seasons?
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.
Where are the polar ice caps?
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.
What planet has ice caps that change in size with the seasons other than earth?
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.
What types of vegetation survive on ice cap?
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.
In Arizona is there capes desserts or ice caps?
grow page 17 huh, deserts
What are the ice caps of Mars made of?
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......
What are the only things that can grow in the ice cap?
although no other vegetation can grow here, linhens- or funguslike plants and mosses- can live on rocks.
