The largest desert is technically Antarctica. The largest hot desert is the Sahara in northern Africa. What defines a desert is the amount of annual rainfall, of which Antarctica has very little.
These are known as ice sheets, massive expanses of glacial ice that cover land areas. Antarctica and Greenland have the largest ice sheets in the world, containing the majority of Earth's fresh water. The ice sheets can be several kilometers thick and have a significant impact on global climate and sea levels.
The world's largest supply of fresh water is found in glaciers and ice caps, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. These ice masses hold about 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth.
Approximately 68.7% of the world's fresh water is trapped in icecaps and glaciers, with the majority of it located in Antarctica and Greenland. This frozen water is a crucial reserve that helps regulate global climate and sea levels.
You may be thinking of the largest ice sheet in the world.
Antarctica is an ice desert and the largest desert in the world.
The largest ice in Antarctica is the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent.
Yes, Antarctica is the world's largest desert and is covered by ice and snow.
Antarctica is dominated by the Antarctic ice Sheet, the largest single piece of ice on Earth. It has a number of mountains and without the ice, would have a land mass similar in size to Australia.
The ice sheets on Antarctica and Greenland are the largest in the world. They are shrinking.
The world's second largest continental ice sheet is located in Antarctica, covering about 14 million square kilometers. It is known as the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
antarctica is the largest ice cap in the world. my geo teacher mrs.magners told me (: she's awesome
Simply, Ice.
Antarctica is the largest polar desert on earth; the largest storage area for ice on earth -- and that ice stores the largest extent of fresh water on earth. It is also the highest continent.
The largest remaining ice shelf is the Ross Ice Shelf , which is about the size of France. You can find this ice shelf in east Antarctica.Otherwise, 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet.
Antarctica's ice sheet holds about 90% of the earth's ice.
