  • Specifically,  a cold desert that is dry and has an average of 6.5 inches of snowfall every year. And has large sheets of ice that are frozen for millions of years. This has continental glaciers.
  • And the thickness of ice is measured to be 1.6 km and thus contain about 90% of the ice in the entire world and 70% of the freshwater. Ince shelves cover an area of about 1,541,710 km square.

Gas hydrates are crystalline ores that make during below molecular mass gas merges with water and turns into a solid following low temperature and average pressure circumstances. Their breakdown can discharge massive quantities of gas, which could influence Earth’s climate.

It is not steady at average sea-level pressures and temperatures, which is the initial reason that it is a provocation to examine. The hydrate reservoir may have an influential impact on the atmosphere and climate because methane is a vital greenhouse gas.
