Miserable.
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
How do you spell arctic?
That is the correct spelling of Arctic, which is normally a proper noun as it refers to the northern polar regions of the Earth. However, if it refers only to arctic-like conditions (e.g. an arctic wind), it does not have to be capitalized.
What direction does the wind blow in Greenland?
The wind in Greenland generally blows west to east due to the prevailing westerlies. However, it can also be influenced by local topography and weather systems, leading to variations in wind direction throughout the country.
What are some abiotic factors in the Arctic tundra?
grasses,wind, light ,and temperature
What is the average wind speed in the Arctic Ocean?
The average wind speed in the Arctic Ocean typically ranges from 5 to 15 knots (approximately 6 to 17 mph or 9 to 28 km/h). However, wind speeds can vary significantly due to seasonal changes and weather patterns, with stronger gusts occurring during storms. In the summer, the wind is generally calmer, while winter can bring more intense winds. Overall, the Arctic's unique atmospheric conditions contribute to these variations in wind speed.
What two elements together produce the marine west coast climate in Western Europe?
the warm waters/wind of the Atlantic and the cold water/wind from the Arctic.
Which is the most common cause of erosion in deserts?
In dry deserts a combination of exfoliation and wind erosion. In arctic deserts wind erosion would be the most prominent
Does the west wind drift occur at 60ºN around the Arctic Circle?
Yes, the West Wind Drift, also known as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, occurs at approximately 60 degrees south latitude in the Southern Hemisphere, not at the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why is it cold?
Normally, the mid-latitudes gets wind from the southwest or west, where it is warmer, carrying relatively warm air with it. But, as is always the case in winter, the wind will come out of the north or northwest, bringing Arctic air with it. This makes it much colder than it normally is. That's the simple answer, at least.
