The area on Earth's surface that is mostly ice is Antarctica. This continent is covered by a thick ice sheet, which contains about 60% of the world's fresh water and plays a crucial role in regulating global climate. Additionally, the Arctic region, including Greenland, also has significant ice coverage, primarily in the form of glaciers and sea ice.
What else can I help you with?
Would Ice cubes with the same volume but different surface areas melt at the same soeed?
No, the greater the surface area the faster the ice cube will melt.
What is the surface area of 5 cubes?
that depends on how big the ice cubes are, advice: pay attention in class!
Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?
Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio
What solids have curved surfaces?
depends i meen ice can have a curved surface
Why the bottom of an iceberg bigger than that of the surface?
The bottom of an iceberg is typically larger than the visible part above the surface due to the principle of buoyancy. Icebergs are mostly submerged in water, with about 90% of their mass hidden below the surface. This submerged portion is larger because ice is less dense than water, causing it to float, while the bulk of its volume remains underwater. As a result, the submerged section must displace enough water to support the entire mass of the iceberg.
How does ice change the earths surface?

What is the surface area of ice?
ice
How does ice change the earth surface?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
What can large ice sheets do to change the landscape of the earths surface?
changes the climate
Huge mass of ice that moves slowly across the earths surface?
It is an iceberg.
How does ice erosion effect Earth's surface?
It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.
What percentage of earths surface water is in the form of glacial ice?
Approximately 69%
How does increasing the surface area help in melting ice?
Increasing the surface area of ice exposes more of it to warmer temperatures, which helps accelerate the melting process. This is because a greater surface area allows for more heat transfer from the surroundings to the ice.
How much of earths is covered by water?
Roughly 75% of Earths Surface is covered by water. (including the Oceans, lakes and land Ice).
What are the 4 agents that weather and change the earths surface?
water, ice, wind, and snow.
Does Triton have ice?
Yes, and not just water ice. Triton's surface is mostly frozen nitrogen.
