The Arctic shelf is primarily composed of solid matter, specifically the ice that forms on the ocean's surface. This ice is a solid state of water, which can also be found in the form of frozen sediments and permafrost beneath the surface. Additionally, the underlying water in the Arctic shelf is in a liquid state. Thus, the region exhibits both solid (ice and permafrost) and liquid (ocean water) states of matter.
