Editing Antarctica (section)

=== Zones and Regions of Antarctica ===
Antarctica is divided into two main '''geographical and geological regions''', each with distinct characteristics  '''East Antarctica''' and '''West Antarctica'''. These regions are separated by the '''Transantarctic Mountains''', which stretch across the continent and serve as a natural boundary between the two zones. '''East Antarctica''' is the '''larger and older part''' of the continent. It covers roughly two-thirds of the landmass and is dominated by a thick and stable ice sheet. The ice in East Antarctica is generally less prone to melting due to its colder temperatures and higher elevation. This region contains several notable features, including the '''Vinson Massif''', the highest peak in Antarctica, and vast ice-covered plateaus. The ice here preserves some of the '''oldest climate records''' in the world, making it extremely valuable for scientific research and studies on historical climate change.

'''West Antarctica''', in contrast, is '''smaller and more geologically active''', and its ice sheet is much thinner and more vulnerable to melting. This region includes large ice shelves such as the '''Ross Ice Shelf''' and the '''Amundsen Sea Embayment''', where glaciers are retreating due to rising global temperatures. West Antarctica is considered a critical area for monitoring '''sea-level rise''', as the ice loss here could have a significant impact on coastal regions worldwide. The combination of a warmer climate, lower elevation, and geological activity makes West Antarctica a '''sensitive and high-risk zone''' for climate change. Together, these two regions highlight the '''diverse geography and climate dynamics''' of Antarctica. East Antarctica represents stability and the preservation of ancient ice, while West Antarctica serves as a warning about the impacts of modern climate change. Understanding the differences between these two zones is essential for scientists who study ice sheets, glaciers, and global environmental processes. In summary, Antarctica’s division into East and West regions provides insight into the continent’s '''geology, climate vulnerability, and environmental importance''', making it a key focus of ongoing research and global scientific interest.
