Antarctica

Color assignments on maps of concentrations of any constituent are arbitrary, and provided as a key on the map. There is no "natural" means of providing such a representative color. On the maps provided by the US-NASA, high ozone concentrations are yellow or white, and low concentrations are depected as dark blue, with intermediate values usually in red. So on US-NASA maps, the ozone hole is usually shown as a red circle with a blue center, when it is winter at that pole. See the link below.

Features of Tundra: No trees, permanently frozen soil, the sun doesn't rise for six months a year, average temp of -30 F, low plants, less than 10 inches of precipitation a year, only two seasons; winter and summer.

it depends on how u ask the question. You can take computers to antarctica but you will not have an internet connection. But there could be computers cauculating information if that is what you are asking. If you need me to answer any questions look at my page on Twitter Sportsdude1561

None. There was a net gain of ice in Antarctica in 2008, and also a new record set of total sea ice, eclipsing the last record high by millions or square kilometers.

Snow in Utah generally stops falling in late March or early April, although it can vary depending on the region and elevation. The snowmelt typically continues through the spring months of April and May.

The coldest temperature recorded in Antarctica in 1983 was -84.6 degrees Celsius (-120 degrees Fahrenheit).

i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.

People in Antarctica typically drink water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and occasionally alcoholic beverages. It's important to stay hydrated in the cold climate, so water is usually the primary choice. Alcohol consumption is limited due to its effects on the body's ability to regulate temperature in extreme cold conditions.

Antarctica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km completely in

the Southern Hemisphere.

In addition, part of Antarctica is also in the eastern hemisphere, and the

rest of it is also in the western one.

The South Pole is located on Antarctica.

In Alaska, the longest day occurs on or around June 21st, known as the summer solstice, when the sun is up for about 22 hours. Conversely, the longest night happens on or around December 21st, known as the winter solstice, when the sun may be up for only a few hours in some parts of Alaska.

Yes the sun does shine in Antarctica because without sunlight there is not daylight.

What you will find is that there is almost continuous sunlight in the Summertime, with the sun setting as late as 11:30pm and rising as early as 3:30am, whilst Winter sees six months of almost continuous darkness. Around Christmas itself (the southern summer), sunlight is continuous for 24 hours for a couple of weeks, whilst in mid-June (the southern winter) for a couple of weeks, there is no sunlight at all.

Plant fossils found in Antarctica suggest that the continent was once covered in vegetation, indicating a warmer climate. Coal beds in Antarctica further support this idea, as they are formed from the remains of ancient plant material that grew in a more temperate environment. These findings provide evidence that Antarctica experienced periods of warmer temperatures in the past.

Yes, geologists in Antarctica may test water as part of their research to understand the geology, hydrology, and environmental conditions in the region. Testing water samples can provide valuable information on factors such as ice melt, mineral content, and potential impact of climate change on Antarctic ecosystems.

Tom Crean participated in three expeditions to Antarctica. He accompanied Robert Falcon Scott on the Discovery Expedition in 1901–1904, then Ernest Shackleton on the Nimrod Expedition in 1907–1909, and finally Shackleton again on the ill-fated Endurance Expedition in 1914–1917.

At the South Pole, no matter which direction you take a step in, you will start walking towards the North. This is because the South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth, and all directions from there lead towards the North.

A group of explorers set out to reach the South Pole in the year 1911. Led by Roald Amundsen, this expedition successfully reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating out a rival British expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott.

Some world records in Antarctica include the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth, at -128.6°F (-89.2°C) in 1983, the highest wind speed recorded at 199 mph (321 km/h) in 1972, and the highest elevation on the continent at the summit of Vinson Massif, which is 16,050 feet (4,892 meters) above sea level.

Polar regions are at the poles of the earth. When sun shines on the earth the equator being in the center get the most sun. The poles get only a slanted amount of light, in which less heat gets to those areas.

Antarctica is covered in ice all year round and the temperature rarely rises above zero even in summer.

Iceland is the country located south of the Arctic Circle in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The dinosaur fossil found on Vega Island in 1986 was a partial skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur known as Cryolophosaurus ellioti. This dinosaur lived during the Early Jurassic period, around 190 million years ago. It is a significant discovery as it is one of the earliest known dinosaurs from Antarctica.

•The most important part of surviving in the desert is to avoid direct sunlight. That is how the turban came to be. Often if stuck in the desert, people will take off their shirt and wrap it around their head.

•Next, if water is available in small amount, for example in a canteen, it's important to ration it to last as long as possible. It's also important to be resourceful. To keep fluids in your body, you may need to drink your own urine. This will only work once though, after 2 cycles through the body, urine becomes toxic to the kidneys.

•If you know you're stuck, with miles and miles of desert around you, your best bet is to stay put. Often deserts have their own patrols that fly throughout the desert looking for stranded people. It's best to conserve energy to stay alive until you're rescued

There are about 20 inactive volcanos on Antactica. Some of the inactive volcanos include Mount Terror, Mount Bird and Mount Terra-Nova.

Until recently, Mount Erebus was the only active volcano on Antarctica. In January 2008, a previously unknown and unnamed Antarctic volcano erupted blowing a substantial hole in the ice sheet and shot gas and ash 12 km into the air. The volcano, which had not erupted for about 2,300 years, is located close to the Pine Island Glacier. It is said to be the biggest eruption in Antarctica for 10,000 years.

Scientists said it may explain the speeding up of historically slow-moving glaciers in the region.

tropical rainforest, which is characterized by its dense and diverse vegetation, including towering trees, lush vines, and abundant epiphytes. This type of vegetation thrives in the hot and humid conditions of the tropics, where rainfall is plentiful year-round, allowing for high levels of productivity and biodiversity.

Because if the polar Ice caps were not there then there would be no polar bears or penguins and they are the ones that keep the fish from becoming over populated and with out those 2 species it would mess up the whole food chain so we need to save the Polar Ice Caps
