TASK 19
A) In winter Arctic is not devoid of life.
B) Fat helps animals to survive.
C) The Arctic has more than four hundred species of animals.
D) The Antarctic Peninsula is essentially circular.
E) 10% of the world’s total is not covered by ice.
F) Some animals can live in Antarctica.
The Arctic is not a frozen desert devoid of life on land or sea, even during the cold,
dark winter months. Spring brings a phenomenal rebirth of plant and animal life.
Some animals adapt well to Arctic conditions; for instance, a number of species of
mammals and birds carry additional insulation, such as fat, in cold mo nths. The
Arctic has more than four hundred species of flowering plants. The vast stretches of
tundra that cover the plains and coastal regions consist of low creeping shrubs,
grasses, thick growths of lichens and mosses, and herbs and sedges. Lying almost
concentrically around the South Pole, Antarctica — the name of which means
“opposite to the Arctic” — is the southernmost continent. It covers about 5.5 million
square miles and would be essentially circular except for the Antarctic Peninsula,
which reaches toward the southern tip of South America. Its landmass is almost
wholly covered by a vast ice sheet. The continental ice sheet contains approximately
7 million cubic miles of ice, representing about 90 percent of the world’s total. The
average thickness is about 6,500 feet. Because of this vast ice, the continent sup ports
only a primitive population of cold-adapted land plants and animals. Antarctica, the
most remote and inaccessible continent, is no longer the most unknown. All its
mountain regions have been mapped and visited by geologists, geophysicists,
glaciologists, and biologists. Mapping data can now be obtained by satellites.
