Question

Which of the following is the only continent that does not have a hot dessert?
A) North America
B) South America
C) Antarctica
D) Australia

Answer 1

Hint:
It is the southern continent of the world. It absolutely was in 1820 once the human 1st set foot during this place. Among the given choices it's the sole continent while not desert.

Complete Answer:
It is Earth's southernmost landmass. It contains the geographic South Pole and is arranged in the Antarctic area of the Southern Hemisphere, essentially south of the Antarctic Circle, and is encircled by the Southern Ocean. At 14,200,000 square kilometers (5,500,000 square miles), it is the fifth-greatest terrain and practically twofold the size of Australia. At $0.00008$ people per square kilometer, it is by a wide edge the least thickly populated terrain.
All things considered, is the coldest, driest, and windiest land mass, and has the most noteworthy normal height of the multitude of mainlands. The greater part of Antarctica is a polar desert, with a yearly precipitation of 200 mm ($7.9$ in) along the coast and far less inland; there has been no downpour there for right around 2 million years, yet $80\% $ of the world freshwater holds are put away there, enough to raise worldwide ocean levels by around 60 meters (200 ft) if every last bit of it were to dissolve. Somewhere in the range of 1,000 to 5,000 individuals live overtime at research stations dispersed over the mainland. Creatures local to Antarctica incorporate numerous sorts of green growth, microbes, parasites, plants, protista, and certain creatures, for example, bugs, nematodes, penguins, seals, and tardigrades. Vegetation, where it happens, is tundra.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note:
Antarctica is colder than the Arctic for three reasons. To start with, a significant part of the landmass is in excess of 3,000 m above ocean level, and temperature diminishes with a rise in the lower atmosphere. Second, the Arctic Ocean covers the north polar zone: the sea's overall warmth is moved through the ice pack and keeps temperatures in the Arctic areas from arriving at the limit’s ordinary of the land surface of Antarctica. Third, the Earth is at aphelion in July, and the Earth is at perihelion in January the orbital distance adds to a colder Antarctic winter however the initial two impacts have more effect.
