The transformation of snow into glacial ice in Antarctica takes _____ than (as) in midlatitude alpine glaciers because ____
less time; more snow fall in the polar regions each year speeds the glacier formation process less time; there is more melting and refreezing in the midlatitudes and, therefore, it takes much longer there longer; the long summer days in Antarctica (up to 24-hours) results in more sunlight impeding the glacier development process approximately the same time; the processes and conditions for formation are the same in both regions
longer; the dryness of the Antarctic climate and minimal snowfall as compared to wetter climates with constant snowfall
