Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ice sheet is a vast, dome-shaped glacier that covers more than 50,000 square kilometers in area. An ice cap also covers a large area, but it is smaller than an ice sheet, covering between 50,000 and 50,000 square kilometers. An ice field is smaller than an ice cap and is a large area of interconnected glaciers. Finally, an alpine glacier is the smallest in size, typically found in mountainous regions. Therefore, the correct order from largest to smallest extent covered is: ice sheet, ice cap, ice field, alpine glacier. Choice B is the only option that follows this sequence.
