The North and South poles are the northernmost and southernmost points on the earth, respectively. When following a compass, consistently going north will lead you to the North Pole, a point in which it is impossible to venture any further North. If following South, then the same result becomes the same. Each pole is where the theoretical lines of longitude converge (meet).
The North Pole is located on a floating ice shelf known as the Arctic Ice Sheet. The South Pole lies inland on the Antarctic continent.

∙ 12y agoThe geographic North and South Poles are true North and South of the planet Earth - not the magnetic poles used in calculating compass direction. That is; the geographic North Pole is the Northern tip of Earth referred to as the Arctic Circle. The geographic South Pole is the Southern tip of Earth referred to as Antarctic Circle. The poles are calculated using the lines of Latitude furtherst North and South of the Equator; and the poles are therefore circular. They receive minimal sunlight owing to their position - with 6 months of light in Summer; and 6 months of darkness in Winter. Earth spins on an imaginary axis giving us day and night; and tilts on this 'axis' giving us rotating seasons, Summer and Winter, in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The point at which this 'axis' enters/exits the North and South Pole are true geographic North and South.

∙ 8y agoBoth poles mark points on the earth where the lines of latitude converge to a single point. Both are named 90 degrees: the north pole at 90 degrees N and the south pole at 90 degrees S. Midway between them is called the Equator, or 0 degrees.

∙ 12y agoit is where the north and south geographic poles are connected somehow..

North and South (Poles) :)
Do North poles attract North poles?
We know that like magnetic poles repel and opposite magnetic poles attract. North will repel north and south will repel south. On the other hand, north and south attract each other.
