Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent among the world’s continents and 98 percent of its landmass is covered by large ice sheet. Generally, Antarctica is the driest, coldest and the most continent with strong winds. Most of the continent is a polar desert that has an annual precipitation of just 200 mm across the coast and lower inland.

You will be asked to give examples of the 3 types of Isostatic Rebound, Sediment Deposition, or Erosion that has impacted the wa

VMariaS [17]

Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
