WBBSE Class 6 Geography Class 6 Geography Chapter 6 The Ice-Capped Continent Introduction

1. Antarctica remains perpetually covered under a 1-2km layer of snow and compacted ice. Thus, it is called the White Continent and is also depicted on maps in white colour.

2. There are huge glaciers in Antarctica. The Lambert Glacier is the longest glacier in the world.

3. Blizzards are violent snowstorms which blow at a speed of over 72 km/h for usually three hours or more.

4. In Antarctica, it is continuously night from May to August. During this time, the rainbow-like natural light display can be seen in the night sky.

This natural colourful light display is known as Aurora or Polar Lights in general and Aurora Australis in particular.

4. The layer, above the stratosphere up to a height of 80 km from the Earth’s surface is known as the Mesosphere.

5. Above the mesosphere till 300 km from the Earth’s surface is the Thermosphere. Air becomes very thin in this layer. Gases in this layer are in an ionized state. So this layer is also known as the Ionosphere.
