Antarctica is land covered by ice while the Arctic is just a solid piece of ice.
the statement above is...WRONG!! The arctic is mostly land. Yes it has ice, but mostly land.
The antarctic is 98 percent ICE. So really nethir are "completely" ice, but antarctica is the winner.
What else can I help you with?
What does Antarctic have and not the Arctic?
Antarctica has a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean, while the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land masses. Antarctica is a single landmass covered in ice, whereas the Arctic is an ocean covered by sea ice with various land masses surrounding it.
Is the North Pole on land or water?
There is no land underneath the North Pole - it lies entirely on water. The North Pole sits on a floating ice sheet which is called the Arctic ice sheet.
Where is the 2 percent of land that isn't ice the North Pole or the South Pole?
The 2 percent of land that isn't covered by ice at the North Pole or the South Pole mainly consists of landmasses such as islands in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. These areas include parts of Greenland, northern Canada, Alaska, and Antarctica that are not covered by ice sheets.
The North Pole is a land mass as big as Texas true or false?
False, It is not even a land mass, it is an ocean. The North Pole is a point which happens to fall in the Arctic Ocean. It can be reached by travelling over the pack ice of the Arctic Ice Sheet which covers the Arctic ocean.
What is Antarctica made up of besides ice?
AnswerUnlike the arctic region in the north, Antarctica is a continent. It is land, and there are actually some exposed sections of the land. Most of the continent is covered by thick ice sheets. Any ice in the Arctic region is floating on water.
Is the arctic an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land while antarctica is ice covered land surrounded by ocean?
Yes.
What is the main land covered around the Arctic Ocean?
Ice
Which land has no landmass under ice?
Only two landmasses are covered with ice sheets: Antarctica and Greenland. All other land is not so covered. The ice over the Arctic ocean covers open water.
What does Antarctic have and not the Arctic?
Antarctica has a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean, while the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land masses. Antarctica is a single landmass covered in ice, whereas the Arctic is an ocean covered by sea ice with various land masses surrounding it.
Is there any land at the North Pole?
No, there is no land at the North Pole. The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by sea ice.
Why is Antarctica coldest of the polar regions?
Antarctica is a continent covered -- 98% -- by an ice sheet and is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic, which is covered by sea ice and no land.
Which region has no mass under the ice the North Pole or the South Pole?
The North Pole. It sits on a floating ice sheet.The North Pole is not on a continent. It is on a very large floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.You'll find the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean.
Smallest ocean covered with ice?
Arctic
What is the difference between the arctics and antarctica?
The Arctic is the area around the North Pole and Antarctica is the continent at the South Pole. The Arctic is not actually land but a combination of ice and water, by contrast, the Antarctic is a continent and landmass covered in ice. The Arctic is in the North and Antarctica is in the South. They are both at the Earth's poles but the Arctic is made up of solely ice and is just a collection of large ice caps. Antarctica is actually a continent with ice and solid land too. The biggest difference is that the Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a frozen continent surrounded by an ocean.
Which Polar region has more land?
The Antarctic region has more land than the Arctic region. Antarctica is a large continent comprised mostly of land covered in ice, while the Arctic is mostly comprised of water surrounded by land masses.
Is the North Pole on land or water?
There is no land underneath the North Pole - it lies entirely on water. The North Pole sits on a floating ice sheet which is called the Arctic ice sheet.
What is continent made of?
Antarctica is 10% of the surface of the Earth, and is made up of land. However, 98% of it is covered by an ice sheet.
