What is polar creep?

Answer 1

In the waters of the Polar Regions, it has been said that water here has high salinity (therefore also a high density) because when the seawater freezes, most of the salt stays behind in the unfrozen seawater. As this water moves, it meets up with warmer water therefore it sinks deep beneath the surface; then it travels slowly to the equator. This movement of polar water is called Polar Creep.

Answer 2

*Plate tectonics* (from the Late Latin

"tectonicus", from the Greek

: "τεκτονικός" "pertaining to building")[1]

is a scientific theory

that describes the large-scale motions of Earth

's lithosphere

. The theory builds on the concepts of continental drift

, developed during the first decades of the 20th century. It was accepted by the geoscientific community after the concepts of seafloor spreading

were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s

Answer 3

Polar creep is a term that refers to the gradual movement of polar ice sheets and glaciers due to a combination of gravitational forces and their own weight. It is a phenomenon that can contribute to rising sea levels and impact coastal communities.
