The Antarctic continent is the driest continent on earth with about five percent humidity. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with frozen water.
The Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent is sea water that freezes in the winter. It connects with the ice sheet that covers the land and essentially doubles the size of the continent. Most of the sea ice melts in summer.
What else can I help you with?
What causes drought cycles in Antarctica?
There is no 'drought cycle' in Antarctica: Antarctica is always dry with little or no precipitation.
Is the rock cycle like the water cycle?
no the water cycle is that water evaporates and comes back down some of it even goes into the earth
What are some examples that are like the water cycle?
Few other cycles in nature are same as water cycle. These are carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle etc.
Is a rockcycle really a cycle?
yes it is cause it reuses the rocks like the water cycle reuses the water
How does water work in water cycle?
in lakes rivers sea and all they will evaprate and go and change into water vapour and come down as rain from the clouds and how you pedel in the cycle it will be going on like how you pedel in the cycle this is called water cycle
How do you get out of the water in Antarctica?
If you are in the water in Antarctica, generally, you'd step onto the beach to get out of the water.
Why doesn't the freeze-thaw cycle happen in Antarctica?
In Antarctica, the temperature is consistently below freezing, so there is no opportunity for a freeze-thaw cycle to occur. The extreme cold prevents the melting phase of the cycle from happening, as temperatures remain too low for ice to melt.
What cycles depends on the fact that water is able to exist as a solid a liquid and a gas on Earth The nitrogen cycle the water cycle the carbon cycle or the phosphorus cycle?
The cycle that depends on water existing as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth is the water cycle. This cycle involves processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, which are facilitated by water's ability to exist in these different states.
The sequence of conditions through which water passes in the atmosphere and on Earth's surface is called the?
water cycle. This cycle includes processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff that facilitate the movement of water through different reservoirs like the atmosphere, oceans, and land.
Do you have a water cycle in your front yard?
Yes, every part of the earth is involved in the water cycle. If you mean complete water cycle then no, but part of the water cycle exists in your front yard
Does the water cycle act like a normal cycle?
because you got ripped off
What happens first in the water cycle?
The first step in the water cycle is evaporation, where water from bodies of water like oceans and lakes turns into water vapor and rises into the atmosphere.
