The Arctic is the area around the North Pole and Antarctica is the continent at the South Pole. The Arctic is not actually land but a combination of ice and water, by contrast, the Antarctic is a continent and landmass covered in ice.
The Arctic is in the North and Antarctica is in the South. They are both at the Earth's poles but the Arctic is made up of solely ice and is just a collection of large ice caps. Antarctica is actually a continent with ice and solid land too.
The biggest difference is that the Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a frozen continent surrounded by an ocean.
No, Antarctica is in the Antarctic. The Antarctic is in the southern hemisphere and the Arctic is in the northern hemisphere. Collectively though, they are called the poles.
Antarctica has no time zones, because it could be in any time zone, so there is no time difference.
Antarctic is a modifier word used to describe a region, for example: the Antarctic region. Antarctica is a noun and is the name of a continent. Antarctica is contained within the Antarctic region.
Yes. The Northern and Southern Hemisphere seasons are exact opposites.
they migrate from the arctics to the tropics of Australia
Antarctica - 14,000,000 square kilometers or 5,400,000 square miles. Sahara - 9,400,000+Square kilometers or 3,320,000+square miles.
The South Pole is 18 hours ahead of Washington DC.
Polar
no Santa does not live in the south pole and i can tell you he lives in the north pole
The temperature of Antarctica can plunge to well below minus 100 degrees F and the temperature in the Sahara may exceed 130 degrees in some areas.
The Drake Passage is between America and Antarctica.
