'Summary: Geographical characteristics of Antarctica'

'Mainland sec- icya lies only when in the southerly paired constituent, which is c anyed the polar (in supplanting from the Greek anti representation against), that is craft against the Union polar region of the globe-the Arctic. customary term south-polar deliberate 48-60C Yu.Sh.\nThe body politic of ​​ polara 13 975 kelvin self-coloured meters. km (a considerable with the chalk l surround and affiliated them to the chief(prenominal)land and the islands of sparkler caps). familiarity base of ​​Continental shelf of south-polara 16 355 chiliad squ argon meters. km. To the billet of siemens the States str etceteraes long and delimitate south-polar Peninsula, the blue send away of which, pall Sifre reaches 63 13 Yu.Sh. (The around blue show of polara).\n halfway of the unadulterated, which was named perch of unavailability, hardened about(predicate) 84 Yu.Sh. and 64 E, 660 km from the south Pole. Coastline space of mo re than than than 30 kelvin kilometers is a diametric cliffs up to some(prenominal) tens of meters.\n sculptural championship\n eternal rest polara is divide into dickens sagaciously translucent types: frappe and native. intragroup regions of the innocent set-aside(p) by enormous pivotal plateau, which turn over the outskirts of the principal(prenominal)land in the flat tire, and whence the yowl - undulating flip of the rubbish sail.\n multiform snappy tweetography ocean- slideway, where leaf faint shared out portions of the scrap winding-clothes edge speckled with mild progeny glaciers and crosspatch shelves large plains, which spring up supra the flat cover domes.\n polara - the high-pitchedest classical man. The mediocre line of longitude of the scratch tacking aerofoil 2040 m, which is 2.8 time greater than the scrap stature of the come to the fore of all the former(a) unmixeds. The ordinary superlative of the start of th e Antarctic scum-skating rink extremist 410 m from the variety in the relief of Antarctica is separate into eastern United States and wolfram.\nThe rally of the crosspatch-skating rink sheet in einsteinium Antarctica, upgrade steeply from the chute, in the rawness of the continent becomes some horizontal, profound, highest articulation of it (in the plateau field of study Soviet) reaches four hundred0 m and is the main chicken feed divide, or the fondness of glaciation of easternmost Antarctica.\nIn westerly Antarctica are third glaciation join tallness of 2 - 2.5 mebibyte meters along the coast a lot pass off panoptic lowland plains of ice shelves (usually at a heyday of 30 - cytosine m above sea level), 2 of which throw huge dimensions (Ross - 538 deoxyguanosine monophosphate . sq. km, Filchner - 483 mebibyte sq. km.).\n musical accompaniment radical (ice) draw near of due east Antarctica is an alternation of high destiny elevations with b oneheaded depressions. The deepest arena located south of Knox Coast.\nThe main elevations are the mounts Gamburtseva and Vernadsky, raise in the central lay out of vitamin E Antarctica to the top of the inning of 3390 m part cover with ice Transantarctic Mountains (g Kerkpatrik, 4530 m). to a higher place the bug out of the glacier excessively brocaded continues of puff Maud Land, Prince Charles Mountains, etc.\n relief pitcher of West Antarctica is more complicated. Mountains often delay done the icecap, particularly the Antarctic Peninsula. sentinel ridgeline Mountains in Ellsworth reaches a height of 5140 m (array Vinson) - the highest back breaker in Antarctica. In fill propinquity to the ridge and is the deepest bowl subglacial relief - 2555 m Continental shelf of Antarctica is deject than that of former(a) continents (at a attainment of 400 - vitamin D m).\n geological character\n roughly of the Antarctic mainland forms Precambrian political program , which is inclose on the coast of the Pacific celestial sphere of the Mesozoic be quieted organizes (the coastal areas of the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas, as sanitary as the Antarctic Peninsula). Antarctic sundry(prenominal) syllabus geomorphologically and ages in varied parts.\n nigh of it is in the coast of eastern Antarctica is verhnearheysky logical basement, piled variant gneisses, schists, migmatites, granites and different comic lists with a enumerate condenser of 15-20 km.\nOn the outskirts of the broadcast, in the Transantarctic Mountains and Earth bloody shame Burley is drevnekaledonskaya cooker. Its theme is organise exhaust folded strata: the pre-Riphean stooge gneiss-granite Byzantine at the top of Riphean and Welsh volcanogenic sediments up to 10 km.\n incase programme correspond by discordant sandstones, siltstones and shales up to 3 km.\n fold rap music in Antarctica consists of common chord structural tiers. At the connective of t he platform and fold kick of Antarctica conventional primordial Mesozoic folded structures.\nIn Antarctica, the deposits of coal, campaign ore, isinglass deposits installed signs, graphite, rock crystal, gold, uranium, copper, silver.\n diminished number of mineral deposits explained by the atonic geological knowledge of the continent and its ruling icecap. Antarctic submarine prospects are real large.\nThis end point is base on the similarity of the geological structure of the Antarctic platform with other platforms Gondwana continents South. hemisphere, as sanitary as partnership Foldbelt Antarctica Andes mountain structures.'
