Answer 2

Average ice sheet thickness in Antarctica

The average thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet is approximately 2,500 meters. Antarctica is covered by ice that contains about 70% of the world's fresh water. If this ice were to melt, sea levels would rise by approximately 60 meters worldwide

The Antarctic ice sheet consists of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is relatively small but unstable, while the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is larger and more stable. The average thickness of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is approximately 2,500 meters, but it varies significantly from place to place. Some areas are over 4,000 meters thick, while other areas such as the Ronne Ice Shelf are only a few hundred meters thick

The thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet has been measured in a variety of ways, including radar and laser altimetry from aircraft and satellites. Deep ice core drilling expeditions have also provided thickness measurements at specific locations. According to these measurements, the average thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet, taking into account variations between different regions, is approximately 2,500 meters
