All of them, sadly. This is why there is the Antarctic Treaty.
Antarctica receives the least percentage of Earth's water due to its ice-covered continental landmass, which contains about 70% of the world's fresh water in the form of ice.
The Antarctic is a region that contains the continent Antarctica, surrounding the South Pole and surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
The Antarctic regions are about 30 degrees F. colder than the Arctic regions, because of the Antarctic continent, the land mass that makes up about 10% of the earth's surface.This land mass and the ice that sits on top of it retains the cold better than the Arctic seas, which can warm, because the sun melts the ice and then warms the water.The Antarctic, on average.
When the ice ball or brick melts, it will turn into water. The overall water level in the tank will remain the same because the volume of water displaced by the ice when it was floating is equal to the volume of water produced when the ice melts.
If you are saying 6 cm SQUARED then it is 6ml. Water is measured in volume. Three dimensions.
No. If all the ice on Antarctica melts, it will raise sea levels round the world by 60 metres (200 feet).
None. Antarctica is a continent, 98% of which is covered by ice.
No. Ninetyy-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet. There is no fresh water there, except that which is frozen.
Antarctica is a continent covered in ice, which as you may know is frozen water, also known as H2O. You could therefore say that Antarctica consists of water, but you could not say that water consists of Antarctica. Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen.
Ice. Water is liquid ice and is found in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with ice.
Antarctica, the continent, is bedrock and soil. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered, however, by frozen water -- an ice sheet.
Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet. There is no water area on the surface of the continent, except hidden areas under the ice sheet.
It's in the ice that melt over the ice plateu and fall to the water and floats until it melts.
Countries near the coastline (except Antarctica) and ones that receive rainfall.
In Antarctica, water exists as a solid in the form of ice, a liquid in the form of meltwater from glaciers and snow, and a gas in the form of water vapor in the atmosphere. The extreme cold temperatures in Antarctica keep water predominantly in its solid state, but during the summer months, some ice melts to form liquid water.
Nope...lots of land, even unfrozen lakes, under the ice. Basically, Antarctica is a small continent (say the size of Australia) covered by a sheet of ice...and now it's shrinking. no, underneath the ice is rocky land Edited by Danielle Robertson 5/3/2009 :P
Antarctica is a continent -- the driest on earth. It is, however, covered by an ice sheet that contains about 90% of the earth's ice and about 70% of the earth's fresh water. Otherwise, it is land.
