14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi)
Micronesia is a territory of 57 islands. The total land mass is 701 km².
continents Continents: North America, South America, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, Africa and Asia (Europe, Asia and Africa are on the same land mass). Other landmasses include Greenland, Svalbard, Iceland, Indonesia and many other islands.
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
Two things.One, being at the South Pole, it's tied for being the farthest from the Equator with the Arctic ice at the North Pole. Being so far means it doesn't get a whole lot of sun.Two, and this is the difference maker, Antarctica is a land mass. This not only provides elevation (Antarctica's permanence allows ice to constantly accumulate, providing considerable elevation which drops the temperature further) but also prevents the temperature-balancing effects of water from tempering the cold the way it does in the Arctic Ocean.
If you are speaking of 'continent lands' above sea level, you might loosely say there are really only 4 very large land masses on earth:You have the combined joined 'continents' of Asia, Europe and Africa, which, in truth, are really all one land - a joined, continuous mass of land. You also have the continuous land mass of North and South America; there is also Australia; and the 4th very large mass might be Antarctica.Of course, there are some other quite large land masses above sea level, as well, such as Greenland, Iceland, New Guinea, Madagascar, etcHowever, by name, the largest single land mass is called, "Asia".The largest political country is Russia.
Antarctica is about 10% of earth's land mass.
Ice does not increase land mass.
Antarctica is a land mass that covers 10% of the earth's surface. It is covered -- 98% -- by an ice sheet.
13,829,430
Yes, it covers 10% of the earth's surface, this land mass.
Antarctica is 10% of the earth's land mass.
Traveling south of Antarctica, you would encounter the Southern Ocean. There are no significant land masses in that direction until you reach the coast of the continent of Antarctica itself.
Yes. Antarctica is a continent -- one of seven on earth.
No, Antarctica is the mass of land around the South Pole
South America is the closest continent or major land mass to Antarctica.
Antarctica is a frozen land mass. It hardly, if ever rains in Antarctica making it the worlds driest dessert.
They don't. Antarctica is a land mass and fish need water to be able to breathe.
