A sentence for the word Antarctic?
Antarctic is the southernmost continent on Earth and experiences extremely cold temperatures.
Are the fossil fuels coal and oil found in Antarctica useable?
Yes, coal deposits have been found in Antarctica, but extracting and using them is currently not economically viable due to the extreme conditions in the region. As for oil, there have been limited exploration efforts in Antarctica, but the environmental sensitivity and protection regulations in place make commercial oil extraction unlikely.
What are coal deposits called?
Coal deposits are commonly referred to as coal seams or coal beds. These are layers of coal that are found buried beneath the Earth's surface.
What is it called when coal is still in the ground?
Coal that is still in the ground is referred to as coal seam or coal deposit.
What do you call coal still in the ground?
Coal still in the ground is called "coal reserves".
Is there oil and coal deep below the antarctic?
yes
How do plant fossils and bed of coal support the idea that Antarctica once was warmer that it is today?
Plant fossils and coal seams could only have formed if Antarctic had once been warmer (further north).
Is coal a resource in Antarctica?
No. Mining is not allowed south of 60 degrees South Latitude on earth, based on its governance under the Antarctic Treaty.
What minerals are there in antarctic?
Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals, coal and hydrocarbons have all been found in Antarctica.
How oil and coal created in antarctica below the ice?
The Antarctic was not always at the south pole. At some stage, (possibly when all land was one mass named: Pangea) it was tropical and the vegetation (tree ferns, etc) needed to eventually form coal and oil was present. Tectonic plates movement across the earth's mantle, transported the Antarctic to its present day position at the south pole.
What is the reason for change in the climate of antarctic?
Climate in the Antarctic and around the whole world is changing because of global warming, which is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide.
How has Antarctic Treaty changed how humans interact with Antarctica?
people can now not steal/borrow/take and of the coal or oil and can not live there permanently and are not allowed to own Antarctica hope this helps :)

How does coal distribution support the Theory of Continental Drift?
Coal can be found underneath the cold and dry Antarctic ice cap, though coal can only form in warm and wet conditions. This could mean that Antarctica was once together with the other continents as part of the Pangaea, and was once in a warm and humid region
List 5 antarctic fish?
pouched lamprey,toothfish, murray cod, icefish,plunderfish
Is the Antarctic Desert in Africa?
No its in the Antarctic
What does the fact that there is oil and coal deep below the ice in the Antarctic tell you about the earth in the past?
Petroleum and Coal are formed from fossilized trees in swampland, so it means that at some point in history, likely 300 million years ago since most of the world's coal is from that time period, Antarctica had a large swamp and forest. This supports plate tectonics, which indicate that prior to 50 million years ago, Antarctica was usually close to or on the Equator.
