Arctic vs Antarctic
Though both are snow filled areas, there is a difference between Arctic and Antarctic. The Arctic and the Antarctic show differences in their environment, weather, animal and plant life, human activity, and the like. It is important to note that Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the world’s stormiest seas whereas the Arctic is an ocean with the masses of other lands in the circle. A belt of floating mass of ice debris called the ice pack surrounds the continent of Antarctica. In other words, Arctic and Antarctic can be defined as regions related to North and South poles. It is interesting to note that the Arctic region was found long before the Antarctic region was found.
What is Arctic?
When you look at the globe, Arctic is the region on the top-most corner of the world. The Arctic is characterized by the blowing of mild winds. Also, while the Antarctic region is covered with snow all thorough the year, the Arctic lands generally have a summer, free from ice and snow.
在人类活动以及动物和植物生命上存在的北极和南极差异很大。北极地区有城镇和其他居住地。它有土著人Inuits, Indians and Siberians. Arctic is characterized by the presence of the Eskimos and the Igloos. When it comes to animal behavior, you would find fierce animals in the Arctic region.Polar bearsare seen in plenty in the arctic region. Not only Polar bears, other terrestrial animals or land animals such aswolves,foxes,hares,驯鹿, lemmings and oxen can also be seen in the Arctic region. Other than polar bears, there are other marine mammals such aswhales, seals andwalrusin the artic.
The Arctic region is also characterized by the presence of trees such asTundraand flowering plants. Also, the region is devoid of masses ofalgae.
What is Antarctic?
When you look at the globe, Antarctic is the region on the bottom-most corner of the world. The Antarctic is characterized by the blowing of strong winds. This is the reason why the Antarctic region is considered colder and windier than the Arctic region. Antarctica is covered by ice throughout the year, less than 5% of Antarctica is free of ice.
在整个历史上,南极仍然是一个人口不足的地区。它没有城镇和住所。它没有土著人,也没有任何大型陆地动物。但是,南极区域有企鹅,鲸鱼和海豹等海洋哺乳动物的存在资格。有趣的是注意北极和南极区域动物行为的差异。在南极地区发现的动物本质上很平静。南极地区也没有树木。但是,在南极地区可以发现藻类的质量。但是,如今,科学家在南极拥有无常营地。
What is the difference between Arctic and Antarctic?
•北极是全球最高角的区域,而南极在最底部的角落。那是北极在北极,南极在南极。
• Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the world’s stormiest seas. Also, a belt of floating mass of ice debris called the ice pack surrounds the continent of Antarctica.
• On the other hand, the Arctic is an ocean with the masses of other lands in the circle. It is surrounded by Greenland, Canada, and Russia.
• The Arctic has indigenous people such as Inuits, Indians and Siberians, but Antarctic remains unpopulated. Nowadays, scientists have impermanent camps in Antarctic.
• Arctic has a large range of marine and terrestrial animals such as whales, polar bears, wolves, etc., but Antarctic does not have any large land animals.
• However, the Antarctic region is qualified by the presence of marine mammals such as penguins, whales and seals.
• Arctic area has trees while Antarctic does not.
