What is the average elevation of a polar cap?
I asked this question too... Other sources say the ice cap region average temperature is about -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope that helps!
What changes in elevation and ice depth will you encounter?
Changes in elevation and ice depth can vary significantly depending on the geographical location and climate. In polar regions, elevation typically increases towards ice caps, where ice depth can reach several kilometers. Conversely, in mountainous areas, ice depth may be less, but elevation can be high, leading to glaciers that are thinner but still substantial. Overall, the interplay between elevation and ice depth is influenced by factors like temperature, precipitation, and geological features.
As ice sheets that covered North America thinned and melted following the end of the last ice age would the elevation of the land surface below the ice increase in elevation decrease or stay the same?
The elevation of the land surface below the ice would increase as the weight of the ice decreased. This process is known as isostatic rebound, where the land slowly rises as the weight of the ice is removed, similar to a sponge bouncing back after being compressed.
How have animals in the Arctic been affected by the ice cap melting?
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.
What is a ice cap?
An ice cap is a covering of ice over a large area that is smaller than an ice sheet. It is typically found in polar regions or high mountainous areas and is characterized by being dome-shaped and relatively thin compared to ice sheets. Ice caps play a crucial role in regulating global climate by reflecting sunlight and affecting ocean currents.
What country has the highest elevation?
I assume you are referring to the ice cap located on the extreme north (or "top") of Earth. This is actually not a country but, as mentioned above, an ice cap, known as the Arctic region or the North Pole.
What is the average elevation of a polar cap?

Is Ice Cap a proper noun?
No, ice cap is a common noun. It is only a proper noun if it is the name of something specific, such as Ice Cap, Alaska or Ice Cap Products.

What is mar's largest polar cap?
Mars' largest polar cap is the northern polar cap, known as the North Polar Ice Cap. It is made up of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, covering an area roughly equivalent to the size of Greenland on Earth.
What does RICE mean in physical health?
RICE is an acronym stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. The RICE acronym is a guideline for treating minor injuries and sprains; it suggests resting, icing, compressing, and elevating the injured area.
