Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth, with annual precipitation being below 200mm along the coast, and even less further inland, because air humidity is near zero. However, the high winds cause the blowing of snowfall, and this means that the accumulation of snow works out to about 20 cm per year.
What else can I help you with?
Is the North Pole or the South Pole snowy?
Both the North Pole and the South Pole are snowy, with the South Pole generally receiving more snowfall due to its larger landmass and colder temperatures. Snow at the North Pole is primarily sea ice that accumulates over the frozen Arctic Ocean.
Does it snow at the north pole?
Yes. Average annual snowfall ranges from about 40 to 45 inches. Snowfall is not usually heavy, though the state is prone to blizzards with high winds and very cold temperatures. Some of these are "ground blizzards", where snow does not fall but simply blows around on the ground, still generating whiteout conditions.Sometimes.
What is the climate in antarctica and north pole?
On the average, cold, with little precipitation.
Only about 20-25 cm of this form of precipitation fall on the south pole each year?
That form of precipitation is snow. Snowfall on the South Pole is limited due to the extremely cold temperatures and dry conditions, resulting in an annual accumulation of around 20-25 cm.

What is the climate in antarctica and north pole?
On the average, cold, with little precipitation.
Which region has more land the one around the north pole or south pole?
The South Pole has more land around the pole. The continent of Antarctica has an average revelation above sea level of +6000 ft The North Pole is covered by floating sea ice.
What is the average temperature at Santa's house at the north pole?
Its probably very cold.
How much snows falls at the North Pole daily?
The North Pole is technically a "cold desert". Very little snow falls there but it is so cold that what does fall seldom melts. In fact it is generally cold enough that the primary means by which the snow dissipates is sublimation - the direct transition of ice to water vapor without melting. It is akin to evaporation.Monthly precipitation totals at the North Pole average less than 5 mm (0.2 in) from November through May (with a surge to about 20 mm in January), and rise to 10 to 20 mm June through October. If you average it out, daily snowfall at the North Pole would work out to be less than 1 mm.It should be noted that much of the precipitation is actually in the form of snow that has already fallen elsewhere and then is swept up and entrained by the wind to fall again. High winds often stir up snow, creating the illusion of continuous snowfall. Since it is difficult - if not impossible - to distinguish between new snowfall and snow that fell somewhere else and then was picked up by the winds and redeposited (still frozen) at the North Pole, the total precipitation reported suggests more snow accumulation than is actually observed.
Only about 20-25 cm of this form of precipitation fall on the south pole each year?
That form of precipitation is snow. Snowfall on the South Pole is limited due to the extremely cold temperatures and dry conditions, resulting in an annual accumulation of around 20-25 cm.
How many miles is it from the south pole to the north pole?
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
How is the season on north pole and south pole?
