Question

Which of these statements describes a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D) It does nothing to protect the atmosphere over Antarctica.

Explanation:

On December 1, 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington. According to this treaty, Antarctica was to be used for peaceful purposes. This treaty regulates international relations with the Antarctica region. Freedom to different scientists for research in this area was given through this treaty.

However, the treaty did not discuss anything related to the protection of the atmosphere around Antarctica. Hence, option D can be considered to be a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty  System.
