Arctic sea ice is typically between 1-3 meters thick, while Antarctic land-based ice sheets can be several kilometers thick. Antarctica contains the largest ice sheet in the world, with an average thickness of about 2,160 meters.
The difference is that in the arctic there are Polar bears and in the antarctic there are penguins. You will never find a polar bear in the antarctic and you will never find a penguin in the arctic.
The Arctic and Antarctic circles are named after the regions they mark. The Arctic Circle is named after the constellation Ursa Major, known as the Great Bear or "arctic bear," while the Antarctic Circle is named after the opposite direction of the Arctic Circle on the globe.
Both are polar, but Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic. Antarctica is a continent, there are only northern expanses of continents near the Arctic. There are native and indigenous peoples in the Arctic, and no humans in Antarctica. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land and ice south of 60 degrees S. Many governments argue over the use and governance of Arctic waters.
Antarctica is colder than the Arctic. The average temperature in Antarctica is around -49 degrees Celsius (-56 degrees Fahrenheit), while the Arctic's average temperature is around -34 degrees Celsius (-29 degrees Fahrenheit).
Every place on earth has four seasons, because seasons are marked by dates on the calendar.The Arctic and the Antarctic seasons are marked by more or less sunlight: spring and fall are marked with more or less balanced sun and dark periods, while spring and winter are marked with longer days and longer nights, respectively.Be aware, however, the the seasonal calendar days in the northern hemisphere are opposite the seasons in the southern hemisphere.For example, in Antarctica, 'mid-winter's' day is June 21, and in the Arctic, it's the beginning of summer.
Opposite hemispheres.
The Antarctic is a landmass: the Arctic is sea ice.
The difference is that in the arctic there are Polar bears and in the antarctic there are penguins. You will never find a polar bear in the antarctic and you will never find a penguin in the arctic.
the arctic is in the north pole and antarctica is in the south.
The region between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole is called the Arctic region. The region between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole is called the Antarctic region.
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
An Arctic tern is a migratory bird, Latin name Sterna paradisaea, which travels between the Arctic and the Antarctic.
Arctic north, Antarctic south.
Mid-latitudes
Arctic. Antarctic is the South Pole.
Arctic refers to the region close to the North Pole, while antarctic (anti-arctic) refers to the one close to South Pole. The Antarctic has a land mass underneath the ice, and the Arctic is ice with no land.Perhaps the most common misconception about the Arctic and Antarctic is that they are very similar. Nothing is farther from the truth.The polar regions are a study in contrasts. The Arctic is an ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by an ocean. Each region has unique wildlife that cannot be found in the other. Polar bears and walrus inhabit the North. Penguins inhabit the south. The Arctic has been continually inhabited for thousands of years. The Antarctic has never been inhabited.artic is layer of icesand Antarctic is ice on top of land
the Antarctic is on the north pole and the artic is on the south
