Umxholo
Inkqubo ye-KwiAntarcticabubunzima bomhlaba obunobubanzi obumalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-45,000 ububanzi. Ithathelwa ingqalelo njengelizwekazi lesithandathu kwaye ikumazantsi eplanethi.
Imozulu yeAntarctica
I-Antarctica lelona lizwekazi linomoya kwaye libanda kakhulu emhlabeni. Lo mmandla ubonakaliswa yimozulu ebanda kakhulu, enokuhlulwa ngokweendidi ezintathu zemozulu:
- Indawo yedolophu. Ithathwa njengeyona ndawo ibanda kakhulu, apho zihlala khona izilwanyana kunye nezityalo.
- Ummandla wonxweme. Inika amaqondo obushushu aphakathi kunye nezinye imvula.
- Usingasiqithi. Amaqondo obushushu ashushu noko kwaye afumile kwaye ehlotyeni kuhlala kukho amaqondo obushushu aphakathi kwe -2 ° C kunye ne-5 ° C.
Iintyatyambo zeAntarctica
Iintyatyambo eAntarctica phantse azikho. Kuphela moss, ubulembu, ulwelwe kunye nephytoplankton ezinokufunyanwa kwindawo eselunxwemeni ukusukela, kwilizwekazi liphela, i-ice sheet esisigxina egubungele umhlaba ethintela ukwanda kweentyatyambo kule ndawo.
Izilwanyana zaseAntarctica
Ngenxa yemozulu ebandayo, izilwanyana zomhlaba zinqabile eAntarctica. Nangona kunjalo, kukho ezinye izilwanyana ezinjengezikhova ezinekhephu, ingwe zolwandle, iingcuka ezimhlophe kunye neebhere ezimhlophe. KuSingasiqithi kunokwenzeka ukubona iintaka zokutya kwaye, kwindawo eselunxwemeni, ezi ntaka zitya iintlanzi.
Uninzi lwezilwanyana zasemhlabeni zeAntarctica zifudukela kubusika kuba ubusika bugqithise kakhulu nakwiintlobo eziguqulweyo. Olona hlobo lodwa olungafudukiyo kwaye luhlale kulo lonke ubusika beAntarctic yindoda emperor penguin, ehlala ifukamela amaqanda ngelixa iimazi zifudukela ngaselunxwemeni.
Iintyatyambo zamanzi, kwelinye icala, zininzi. Apha kuhlala iingonyama zolwandle, iminenga elungileyo, iminenga eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, amatywina, oonombombiya, ookrebe kunye nenani elikhulu leentlanzi ezinjenge-cod, i-sole, i-notothenids kunye nezibane, kunye ne-echinoderms (i-starfish, i-sea suns) kunye nee-crustaceans (krill, crabs, shrimp ).
