why is Antarctica colder than the Artic even though they’re both poles
In: Planetary Science
Cuz Antarctica (the South Pole) is a land mass, while the arctic (North Pole) is ice cap floating on the Arctic Ocean.
Ocean currents, carry heat energy up from the equator, and even though it doesn’t make the arctic very warm, it still makes it warmer than the land locked South Pole, where those ocean currents stop at the coast and you have mile sand miles of solid land just freezing
