Why isn't the arctic a land mass?
The Arctic is not considered a landmass because it primarily consists of ocean covered by sea ice rather than solid land. The Arctic Ocean, surrounded by various countries, features shallow continental shelves but lacks a significant landmass at its center. Additionally, the region's ice sheets and floating ice do not constitute land in the geological sense. Thus, the Arctic is characterized more by its oceanic and icy landscape than by any substantial land formations.
Why are areas in Arctic classified as desert?
The Antarctic is considered as a true desert because of low precipitation. Much of the Arctic is sea and sea ice and those areas of land in the Arctic are covered mostly by tundra, a distinctly different biome than a desert.
