There has never been any commercial mining in Antarctica, there are no current plans to mine Antarctica and mining is currently completely banned by the Antarctic Treaty. There are no known future plans by any of the Antarctic Treaty nations to reverse this decision.
Answer:
Since the katabatic winds are descending, they tend to have a low relative humidity, which desiccates the region. Other regions may have a similar but lesser effect, leading to "blue ice" areas where the snow is removed and the surface ice sublimates, but is replenished by glacier flow from upstream.
The answer is c because water is abiotic and is also a compund, sunlight is abiotic, but it helps all biotic factors survive, and nutrients is needed for biotic factors to survive in an ecosystem
The answer is D. When carbon-based fuels are burned, they emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes a greenhouse effect that increases global temperatures hence global warming. However, it is important to note that carbon dioxide is not the only carbon-based greenhouse gas. Methane too is a greenhouse gas, several times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing the emission of these greenhouse gases, therefore, mitigates the risk of global warming.
They are located in Iran.
