GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Because they receive less concentrated sunlight, polar regions are much colder than other parts of the planet. In the summer, the average temperature at the North Pole is 0° C. In the winter, the average temperature drops to −40° C. The South Pole is even colder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar regions are characterized by extremely cold temperatures, heavy glaciation wherever there is sufficient precipitation to form permanent ice, short and still cold summers, and extreme variations in daylight hours, with twenty-four hours of daylight in summer, and complete darkness at mid-winter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are very cold because they get very little direct sunlight. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even in the middle of summer. In winter, the Sun is so far below the horizon that it doesn’t come up at all for months at a time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The polar regions are the coldest regions on Earth, situated between the poles and the respective polar circles. They are also called “eternal ice". The northern polar circle includes the Arctic, which includes the northern Polar sea.

Detailed explanation-5: -1) Eastern Antarctic Plateau, Antarctica (-94°C) The Eastern Antarctic Plateau claims the title of coldest place on Earth.
