Antarctica and Arctic are freezed even thought they are not located on higher altitudes.why?
Answers
Explanation:
Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are cold because they don't get any direct sunlight. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even in the middle of summer. In winter, the Sun is so far below the horizon that it doesn't come up at all for months at a time. The Arctic is ocean surrounded by land.
The climate in the polar regions is the result of a self-reinforcing process. Because so little solar energy is received, the water freezes to ice, which then, like a mirror, reflects the small amount of radiation that does arrive.
A multi-layered, complex wind system, which plays a decisive part in the weather and climate on our planet, is driven by differences in temperature and pressure between the warm and icy regions.
Answer:-
Because of less intensity of sunlight.
Explanation:-
At North and South pole the sunrays fall only for 6 months with a very less intensity not enough heat to melt the ice and provide warmth like other countries.
