Why is the South Pole cold than the North Pole? 【M1】__
Both polar regions of the earth are cold, primarily
because they receive far less solar radiation than the
tropics and mid-latitudes do. In either pole the sun 【M2】__
never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon
and both locations experience six months of continuous
dark. Moreover, most of the sunlight that does shine 【M3】__
on the polar regions reflected by the bright white surface. 【M4】 __
What make the South Pole so much colder than the North Pole 【M5】 __
is that it sits on top of a very thick ice sheet, which itself sits
on a continent. Surface of the ice sheet at the South Pole 【M6】__
is more than 9000 feet in elevation--more than a mile
and a half over sea level. Antarctica is the highest continent 【M7】__
on the earth. In comparison, the North Pole rests in the middle
of the Arctic Ocean, which the surface of floating ice rides 【M8】__
only a foot or so above the surrounding sea. The Arctic Ocean
also acts an effective heat reservoir, warming the cold atmosphere 【M9】__
in the winter and is drawing heat from the atmosphere in the summer. 【M10】__
