How many online newspapers are there available in antarctica?
There are no online newspapers specifically based in Antarctica, as the continent is primarily a scientific research hub with no indigenous population. However, individuals in Antarctica can access online news sources from around the world.
How many newspapers is available in Antarctica?
No commonly available newspapers in print are available in Antarctica, except those that are delivered by logistical mail supported by governments and their research facilities there.
However, online, many newspapers may be available, depending on the research station's access to the Internet..
What direction would you travel from South America to Antarctica?
Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach anywhere by going either direction
from anywhere. But the trip is usually shorter in one direction than in the other.
From the Prime Meridian, the trip to North America or South America is shorter
if you head out going toward the west.
Do seals live in Antarctica all year round?
All year round. the leopard seal stay within the antarctic regions all year round feeding on penguins, fish and other sea birds.
What is the biggest land animal in Antarctica?
The largest animal in the polar regions is the polar bear. Unfortunately, they may become extinct due to dropping numbers in population and global warming. enjoy the fuzzy beasts while you can!
Is there land under antarctica?
- Yes it does, but it is icy. It used to be a forest, but then it got cold because it moved down to the south pole.
Where do polar bears and penguins live in their natural habitat?
Polar bears live in the Arctic, mostly around Canada. Penguins live in the southern hemisphere (there are no northern ones) and they would usually come from Antarctica or Australia, New Zealand etc.
What is being done to stop whaling in Antarctica?
The conflict is between the Japanese government and a anti whaling movement called sea shepherd. Sea shepherd claim what Japan is doing is illegal. This is for 2 reasons, first Japan kill whales for commercial purpose and making it illegal, as well as whales are killed in the Antarctica whale sanctuary which means it is illegal for whales to be killed in the sanctuary.
However, Japan claims that they are doing it for scientific research on things like dietary, migration and behaviour.
What Japan is doing is technically illegal but why countries don't get involve is that the laws are not enforced and Japan continues to break the law without any political opposition from other nations.
Why are krill important to the survival of other animals in Antarctica?
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT KEEPS OUR WHALE POPULATION UP AND SO IT DOESN'T DIE OUT.
because krill feed on snow, that's why the snow disappears. Krill only come out when the sun is shining and the day is hot,
also because they are over hunted by the strange "chav" creature
Why are there no butterflies in Antarctica?
It's too cold in Antarctica and there is no food source there for butterflies.
Antarctica is too cold for any animal to live there, so none do.
Some animals come to Antarctica to breed and nurture their young, but none of these animals are bugs.
Do dolphins live in antarctica?
Yes, Beluga whales are found in the Arctic Ocean, along the coasts of Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia. In the adjoining seas of Sea of Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, the Beaufort Sea, Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence Seaway. Belugas are well adapted to both a cold ocean habitat (0 degrees Celsius) and warmer freshwater habitat.
The wise penguin will grow up by paying very close attention to their parents' advice, eating properly, exercising regularly, NEVER swimming alone, and avoiding various types of shark, Orcas, Leopard Seals, Skuas, and of course, humans.
How many fishing companies are in antarctica?
Like in most places on Earth, fish live in large schools at the bottom of the sea, so numbering them is naturally quite difficult. However, it is estimated, that about 30 million fish do live in Antarctic waters.
These aren't any ordinary fish either. They can anti-freeze themselves so the biting coldness of Antarctica doesn't kill them. I'm not sure what the species of fish are, but I know cod is one of them.
Did mammoths live in Antarctica?
No, mammoths didn't live in Antarctica. It's too cold there, and there is no food chain for any animal.
What fossils animals were found on Antarctica?
The first dinosaur fossil found in Antarctica was an ankylosaur. Cryolophosaurus was the first carnivorous dinosaur discovered on that continent, and its remains may have been identified before those of Antarctopelta.
i remember it was cryolophasaurus
The first dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica was the Antarctopelta oliveroi, an ankylosaurian dinosaur. However, it was the second one to be named. The first dinosaur to be named was the Cryolophosaurus ellioti, a species of theropod dinosaur that had a crest.
Is there a list of all fish in Antarctica?
Yes, there is a list of all the fish in Antarctica. This list could be found by doing research in a library, or looking in a book about animal life in Antarctica.
Another Answer
There are no fish on the continent. Antarctica is a continent and fish are sea animals. You could find a list of fish that thrive in the Southern Ocean, and depending on how much of the Southern Ocean you want to include, develop a comprehensive list.
Do chickens live on Antarctica?
No, chickens can't live in Antarctica. It's too cold there for any animal to live on the continent.
Is there a McDonald's in Antarctica?
No it's too cold. but i swear i saw one on google earth. oh well.
haha yeah the guy would be like "he-he-here i-i-is yo-your fre-fre-french fri-fri-fries s-sir".
How do the antarctic cod survive the waters of antarctica?
Codfish eat herring and lobster
polar cod feed on plankton and krill.
What are the names of some edible fish from Antarctica?
Fish are not part of any popularity contest in Antarctica, since there is no commercial fishing allowed in the waters that surround the continent.
What are words that describe Antarctica and start with the letter x?
Yes, many. X-cold is the most popular, followed by x-treme snow. Glad to be of help!
Will your mobile phone work at antarctica?
Mobile phones require towers to transmit signals. There are no towers of this type in Antarctica, so, no, your mobile phone would not be useful to place or receive calls.
However, everything that is self-contained in the device should operate as expected -- indoors only. Out of doors, the cold would drain the battery in a short time.
Things a computer engineering student should know?
HERE ARE MY LIST OF THINGS COMPUTER ENGINEERING STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW!!!!
- The next billion customers: The IT revolution has probably reached a billion people of the world so far. In the next 5 years, it will reach the next billion. These will be a very different set of people. Many of them will be illiterate -- so you need to focus on non-text, non-English interfaces -- video, animations, voice recognition. Search for "English Seekho" to get an idea of what I mean. Most won't have money or electricity for computers, so mobile devices will rule -- so you need to start playing with mobile platforms like Android. In general, search for the "the next billion" and you'll find some interesting material put together by the likes of Nokia, and MIT giving you ideas on what to focus on.
- Usability: As IT touches the lives of more and more people, less and less of them will be "computer savvy", and less and less of them will view computing devices as something that needs to be learnt. Consequently, the products that will succeed, will be the ones that are easy to use. And making something easy to use is rather difficult. It is a sub-discipline of computer science, and there is a lot of theory, and a bunch of well-defined algorithms and practices you can use to make things easy to use. The whole area is called HCI (Human Computer Interaction), and UCD (User Centered Design) is a part of it. It's an area that you must be familiar with.
- Computer Science Fundamentals: This will never go out of fashion, and yes, when I look at students coming out of our colleges, this appears to be a rather neglected area. Far too much emphasis on specific programming languages, and specific "technologies" is a mistake. Whatever the future holds, you will be well served by knowing the basic theory of computer sciences. Learn data-structures and algorithms. If you don't have a favourite data-structure, and an algorithm that you find beautiful, then your computer science education is incomplete. If, after seeing an algorithm, your first thought is not about the complexity of the algorithm (O(n), O(log n), etc.), then you need to hit your books again. If you've only learned Java and C#, and you don't really understand pointers, heaps, stacks, you will sooner or later be at a disadvantage. Understand the basics. And while you're at it, also learn mathematics and statistics.
- Presentation skills: This is not a computer science skill, but this is one of the most important skills that computer science students are missing. You must treat presentation as equally important, or more important than your program, design, and algorithms. And you must spend as much time learning presentation (from books, in classes, and in practice) as you spent on programming languages, and computer science subjects. I'm sure you haven't done that, hence this item in my list. You should know how to write well. Not just papers and documents, but much more importantly, emails, and blog posts, and facebook wall postings, and tweets. You must think about what the user/reader/client wants to know (instead of what you know and want to tell). And of course, you must know how to speak well. How to tell a story instead of listing some arcane facts about your work. How to leave out stuff that you find extremely interesting, but the listener doesn't.
- Economics: Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert says: "When you have a working knowledge of economics, it's like having a mild super power." Basically, if you understand the fundamentals of economics, you can see and understand what drives people and technologies and success and failure a lot better than people who do not understand it. I hated the fact that I was made to study economics in IIT for my computer science course. It seemed like a complete waste of my time. Now, looking back, I think it was probably the most important course.
Where can you find penguins in Antarctica?
There are no penguins in Canada. Penguins live in the southern hemisphere. You can find some in zoos or in the Bio-dome in Montreal.
