Because those are regions which do not receive enough
sunlight
to melt the ice.
Atop mountains at low latitudes, even permanent
ice areas
exist. Sunlight isn't the cause though, since sunlight is plentiful at low latitudes. The cause is adiabatic expansion and temperature reduction of air which rises from the sea level, and creates the colder surrounding air around the mountain top

Where migh water exist as a permanent frost or as a liquid on Mars?
• as permanent frost (called permafrost) Water exists in ice form as permanent frost in the North and South Poles of Mars. The big slabs of ice are called polar icecaps. • as liquid So far, no liquid water has been found anywhere on Mars.
What is Nonpermanent ice?
Places such as most of Antarctica are covered with a permanent layer of ice. In other places, ice only forms when the temperature drops below freezing. The ice formed when this happens in non-permanent ice because it is only temporary.
What type of Arctic Ice surrounds the North Pole permanent sea ice seasonal ice or permanent land ice?
Seasonal ice (Seasonal permafrost)
Do ice volcanoes exist?
ice valcanos do exist
What is the name of permanent ice underground?
ice machine
What is the name of the thick layer of ice and snow that has formed permanent crust over Alaska and antarctica?
The thick layer of ice and snow that forms a permanent crust over Alaska and Antarctica is called an ice sheet. Ice sheets are massive expanses of glacier ice that cover large areas of land.
Are there any cities in permanent ice?
There are no cities that are permanently covered in ice, as permanent ice typically refers to glaciers or ice caps rather than urban areas. However, there are cities located in extremely cold regions with significant ice and snow year-round, such as Yakutsk in Russia or Norilsk in Siberia, where temperatures can remain below freezing for extended periods. These cities experience harsh winters and have adapted to their icy environments, but they are not permanently encased in ice.
What is a permanent layer of ice under the soil?
Permafrost
What is the correct order from coldest to warmest tundra subarctic humid Continental and ice cap?
The correct order from coldest to warmest is: ice cap, tundra, subarctic, humid continental. Ice cap regions are the coldest with permanent ice, followed by tundra areas with cold temperatures, subarctic regions with slightly warmer climates, and humid continental areas with more moderate temperatures.
What is non permanent ice mean?
its not always there
How do large permanent ice surfaces effect the earth?
Large permanent ice surfaces, such as ice caps and glaciers, play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight back into space. They also help to cool the surrounding areas and regulate global sea levels. Melting of these ice surfaces due to climate change can contribute to sea level rise and impact local ecosystems and weather patterns.
What percentage of ice is in Antarctica?
Antarctica's ice sheet holds about 90% of the earth's store of permanent ice.
