Which type of weathering is more likely to occur in antarctica ice wedging or root pry?
Ice wedging would most likely occur because there's ice in Antarctica and only very little plant life grows there. Plant life such as mosses and liverwort but generally in the summer for about a few weeks at the most. Fungi, algae, and lichens are also found. There are more than 200 kinds of lichens as well as two species of flowering plants-Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort. Guess what I'm only a 12 year old kid. And I answered this question with a little help from the internet and my online school!
Where do ice ages occur?
They occur world-wide, and seem to be part of a pattern not yet fully understood. There is also debate as to whether sunspot cycles have anything to do with them. The last ice age ended between 20 and 25 thousand years ago.
What is the largest piece of ice in the world and in Antarctica?
The largest piece of ice in the world is the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which covers about 14 million square kilometers. Within Antarctica, the largest single piece of ice is the Ross Ice Shelf, which is roughly the size of France.
How thick is the ice in Antarctica and what factors contribute to its thickness?
The ice in Antarctica can be up to several kilometers thick. Factors that contribute to its thickness include snowfall accumulation, compaction of snow into ice over time, and the movement of ice towards the coast.
What sphere is the ice caps in the Antarctica and the Arctic part of?
The ice caps in Antarctica and the Arctic are part of the cryosphere, which refers to the frozen water on Earth, including ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice. The cryosphere plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate system.
Does the dry ice in antarctica come from cars?
No. There is no native or natural occurrence of dry ice in Antarctica, nor are there any cars there.
Is dry ice a element?
Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.
Does dry ice occur naturally in space?
Dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, can form naturally in space. It can occur on objects like comets or asteroids where carbon dioxide is present and temperatures are extremely cold, causing the gas to freeze directly into solid form without passing through a liquid state.
Does ice occur naturally or is it manufactured?
It is manufactured.
How many percent of antarctica is coverd in ice and snow?
About 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with its ice sheet. There is no snow in Antarctica, it's too cold and dry.
Much of antarctica is considered what type of biome?
Antarctica is considered a dry desert.. this means the biome is a desert! also 98% of Antarctica is covered with ice !
What form of matter is the ice in Antarctica that goes directly into the atmosphere?
Because Antarctica is so dry, you may be thinking of evaporation. In this process, ice becomes hydrogen and oxygen.
Why is Antarctica snow covered throughout the year?
Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet -- about 90% of the world's ice. There is very little snow: it's too cold and dry.
Where was dry ice originally found?
Dry Ice, solid CO2 does not appear naturally on Earth, but can be produced. It was first recorded by the French chemist Thilorier in 1835.
Does weathering and erosion occur naturally?
Yes. Mostly by wind, water and ice.
What planet does sublimation occur naturally on?
Sublimation occurs naturally on Earth. Snow and ice can sublimate slowly in hot sun.
Is Antarctica a place where earthquakes are not regular?
Earthquakes are not 'regular' on any continent. Antarctica is especially quiet in the earthquake department, having last experienced one in 1973, according to FindTheData site. However, earthquakes that occur nearby cause ice-quakes on Antarctica, during which the ice shifts. (98% of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet.)
