Antarctica is a desert
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Antarctica is classified as a desert because it receives very little precipitation. Despite being covered in ice, the continent is considered a desert due to its extremely low annual precipitation levels. The average yearly precipitation in Antarctica is less than 200 mm, which is even lower than some of the driest deserts on Earth. Additionally, Antarctica's cold temperatures and icy conditions further contribute to its desert-like characteristics. Therefore, the statement "Antarctica is a desert" is true.Rate this question:

-

Global Warming

People
Correct Answer
A. Global WarmingExplanation
Global warming is harming the Antarctic environment because it is causing the temperature of the Earth to rise, leading to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers. This results in rising sea levels, loss of habitat for various species, disruption of ecosystems, and changes in weather patterns. The increased temperature also affects the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem, leading to the decline of certain species and the proliferation of others. Additionally, global warming can contribute to the acidification of the ocean, which can have detrimental effects on marine life.Rate this question:
