Q. Ross Ice Shelf, recently seen in the news, is located in which continent?
Answer: Antarctica
Notes: Researchers have made a startling discovery in Antarctica: the massive Ross Ice Shelf, equivalent in size to France, shifts forward by several centimeters daily. Located in the Ross Sea, it extends over 487,000 square kilometers, largely hidden beneath hundreds of meters of ice. Fed by glaciers from both East and West Antarctic Ice Sheets, the shelf stabilizes the continent's ice sheet, crucial for regulating land ice movement.
