What was the major difference about the arctic and the antarctic?

Is the Antarctic plate oceanic or continental?
The Antarctic Plate is primarily an oceanic plate, as it includes the seafloor of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. However, it also contains a significant continental portion, which is the landmass of the Antarctic continent itself. This combination makes the Antarctic Plate unique, as it encompasses both oceanic and continental characteristics.
How much of earth do Arctic and Antarctic occupy?
Technically, both polar regions -- above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle -- are equal. However, Antarctica occupies the larger landmass, of the two, covering about 10% of the earth's surface.
What Asian country was a separate continent?
India. Millions of years ago, it split off from the Australian-Antarctic landmass and moved north, where it collided with Asia.
How did the name Antarctic Peninsula come about?
The name "Antarctic Peninsula" derives from its location within the Antarctic region, which is characterized by its extreme cold and ice. The term "Antarctic" comes from the Greek word "antarktikos," meaning "opposite to the Arctic." The peninsula itself is a prominent landmass that extends toward South America, and its naming reflects its geographical significance as part of the larger Antarctic continent. Explorers and cartographers in the 19th century solidified the name as they mapped the region.
What country is in the Antarctic region where the ozone hole exists?
The hole in the Ozone Layer over Antarctica has affected countries farther north, such as Chile and Argentina. These countries are not in the 'Antarctic Region', but are affected nonetheless.
What continent is located at 60s and 60e?
The coordinates 60°S and 60°E are located in the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica. This region is primarily covered by water, but it is in close proximity to the Antarctic continent itself. Therefore, while no landmass is directly at those coordinates, they are near the Antarctic region.
Which continent is closest to the tip of south America?
You may be thinking of the Antarctic continent, with its northern-most tip -- the Antarctic Peninsula.From Wikipedia:"The 800-kilometre (500 mi) wide passage between Cape Horn and Livingston Island is the shortest crossing from Antarctica to any other landmass."
What is the lifstyle of the Antarctic?
How can a landmass have a lifestyle? No one lives there permanently, it's very hostile with no native people, flora or fauna (the birds and penguins that do live there migrated from elsewhere). It's the only landmass on the planet that was not colonised by humans thousands of years ago. It can't easily support life, expeditions that go there have to be very well prepared.
How are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles different?
The Arctic Circle is in the Northern Hemisphere and encompasses the area around the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere and surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle is predominantly ocean surrounded by land, while the Antarctic Circle is mostly landmass surrounded by ocean. Both circles mark the latitudes where 24 hours of continuous daylight or darkness can occur, depending on the time of year.
What countries lies south of the continent of Australia?
There is no country directly south of Australia, although Chille and Argentina are further south than it. The only landmass directly south of Australia is the Antarctic continent, which has no permanent residents.
How close is Argentina to the Antarctic?
From the Wikipedia page for Drake Passage: "The 800-kilometre (500 mi) wide passage between Cape Horn and Livingston Island is the shortest crossing from Antarctica to any other landmass. "
