Rivers on the surface of Antarctica are a seasonal melt-water phenomenon near the coasts. Under the ice sheet, there are sub-glacial lakes, not rivers.
Some theorize that the bottoms of the ice sheet melt due to geo-thermal heat.
What else can I help you with?
What are the rivers of ice in antarctica called?
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
How much of Antarctica's ice is sealed in ice caps?
99%
Does Antarctica have any ice caps?
yes
Is there any theaters in Antarctica?
They have Ice theaters on top of Ice caps
What sphere is the ice caps in the Antarctica and the Arctic part of?
The ice caps in Antarctica and the Arctic are part of the cryosphere, which refers to the frozen water on Earth, including ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice. The cryosphere plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate system.
What is the most widespread surface on earth?
The ice caps on aNTARCTICA
What are the four longest rivers in Antarctica?
There are no 'rivers' in Antarctica, unless you consider glaciers as flowing rivers of ice. You can review the lists, below, and identify the longest glaciers in Antarctica.
Is Mining in Antarctica good or bad?
There is no mining in Antarctica. It is forbidden by the Antarctic Treaty.
What are the names of the ice caps?
The two main ice caps on Earth are the Antarctic ice cap, located in Antarctica, and the Greenland ice cap, located in Greenland. These ice caps play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate and sea levels.
What is the very thick layer of ice found in the Greenland and Antarctica?
They are the Polar Ice Caps and they are not as thick as they used to be.
What are the names and places of rivers in Antarctia?
There are no rivers in Antarctica, it is covered in ice. There are a few glaciers.
How many rivers Antarctica have?
Antarctica has over 400 known rivers, primarily composed of subglacial rivers that flow beneath the ice. These rivers are formed by melting ice and play a crucial role in the continent's climate and ice dynamics. The largest of these is the Whillans Ice Stream, which has an extensive network of subglacial waterways. Overall, the unique river system in Antarctica is vital for understanding its environmental processes.
