These are called icebergs.
IceFlows.
Glacier tongues that break off the Antarctic ice sheet are called icebergs once they disconnect from the sheet.
Ice Flows or Ice sheets (For 5th grade Jump Start game it's iceflows)
Giant glaciers are called ice sheets. These massive expanses of ice cover large areas of land and are found in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets can be several kilometers thick and have a significant impact on global climate.
They are called ice sheets and/or continental glaciers if they cover more than 50,000 square kilometers of land area.continental
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot
There is no food web in Antarctica's ice sheets, cap or glaciers.
The process of ice breaking off a glacier or ice sheet is called "calving".
The ice sheets of west Antarctica actually cover a series of islands, rather like Hawaii. So if the ice sheets melted, the islands would be visible in the ocean.
Yes.
Antarctica is a desert. It does not rain or snow a lot there. When it snows, the snow does not melt and builds up over many years to make large, thick sheets of ice, called ice sheets
