Antarctica has already been experiencing warming, though not as much as in some other parts of the world. It is generally losing ice, though mostly on the coast whereas there may be slight gains in East Antarctica. Sea ice has been slowly increasing in coverage, though this is largely due to variations in the Southern Annular Mode. Several species of penguins have also been found to be having a difficult time adapting to the changes that are occurring. Continued warming will cause further changes in their ecosystems as it continues to get warmer and more ice melts.
how can different climate regions affect how people adapt to the environment
Fossils of tropical plants and animals would be least likely found in Antarctica, as the continent's climate and environment are not conducive to supporting such organisms.
Yes, there are signs that the ozone hole is starting to heal due to global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. As the ozone layer recovers, it will have a positive impact on the climate in Antarctica by reducing harmful UV radiation and stabilizing temperature gradients, which in turn will help mitigate some effects of climate change in the region.
Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
It is said that Antarctica was once a warm continent, Therefore it once held warm weather animals, But the climate started to change and it became cold, Therefore the fossils of warm blooded animals can be found in Antarctica. +++ The world's climate was warmer and Antarctica was part of a much larger continent lying further North.
No.
• it affected the animals • affects the landscape • it can affect the climate • it damages the ice • damages the climate And • changes Antarctica That area has been saved from the over imposing influence of human interference by its virtually unassailable climate. Antarctica has the only unspoiled sweet water in the whole world. This should be the number one in the cons list.

Antarctica, Europe, and Antarctica do not have hot deserts. Europe has a more temperate climate, and Antarctica is too cold to support a hot desert environment.
Antarctica is a polar climate.
how can different climate regions affect how people adapt to the environment
Antarctica is a polar climate, the more extreme of the two.
The climate of Antarctica is affected by its geographic position--it is on the south pole, so it gets no sun at all during the winter. There are also ocean currents, wind currents, and other things that affect the climate.
Antarctica is a polar climate.
Antarctica does have a polar climate.
The weather is simply to harsh to remain out in for very long.
Antarctica is polar; it has a polar climate.
