Parts of Antarctica are considered to be deserts because it is too dry, there's no rainfall because it is too cold and the amount of snow that falls yearly is comparable with the amount of rains that falls in thee driest deserts on the planet, thus the lack of rain and snow makes it a proper desert, cold desert.

Antarctica is so dry that it's considered a desert. Huge ice sheets cover 98% of this frosty continent, Earth's southernmost region. Antarctica is the coldest, iciest, and windiest of Earth's continents. Few plants or animals can live in such a harsh place. But the oceans around the continent are full of life.

I think the answer is plate movement. Tectonic plate movement is the movement on the lithosphere. This movement is defined into three; we have the convergent, divergent and transform. Plate movements often caused volcanic eruptions as well as earthquakes, depending on the movement on the plates.

1) How does wind typically move according to pressure?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 1. Ok so wind  moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. And so basicly thats the wind we experience. 2. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. Swirling in the opposite direction from a low pressure system, the winds of a high pressure system rotate clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator. 3. these names of these name come from their origin; the westerlies run west to east while other winds run east to west. 4. Because Earth rotates as the air is moving, the winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the right and air in the Southern Hemisphere curves to the left. 5. its caused by the north. 6. Land and sea breezes are referred to as direct thermal circulations. During the day the land, which has a low specific heat and is a poor conductor, heats much more quickly than water.

Explanation: Hope it helps :)
