What are the areas of the earth north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle?
The Arctic and the Antarctic respectively.
What are the names for the areas that lie north of the arctic circle and south of the Antarctic circle?
The Arctic and the Antarctic respectively.
What is the name for the areas that lie north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle?
The areas that lie north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle are known as the subarctic regions. These areas experience cold temperatures and distinct seasonal changes due to their proximity to the poles.
What is the imaginary line located at 66.5 degrees south longitude called?
The imaginary line located at 66.5 degrees south latitude is called the Antarctic Circle. This is the southernmost latitude at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours during the summer and winter solstices, respectively. It marks the boundary of the Antarctic region.
What are areas north of the Arctic Circle called?
Parallel latitudes
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
What do you call the cold latitude areas that surround the north an south poles?
The Arctic Circle for the North Pole, and the Antarctic Circle for the South Pole.
Where are the areas on earth called the Arctic and Antarctic?
The Arctic refers to the region around the North Pole, located within the Arctic Circle. The Antarctic refers to the region around the South Pole, encompassing the continent of Antarctica. Both areas are characterized by extreme cold temperatures, polar ice caps, and unique ecosystems.
Where and when is it dark for 24 hours a day?
Areas within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience 24 hours of darkness during their respective winter seasons. In the Arctic Circle, this phenomenon occurs around the winter solstice in December, while in the Antarctic Circle, it occurs around the summer solstice in June.
What are the 2 areas that immediately surround the north and south pole?
The Arctic Circle around the North Pole and the Antarctic Circle around the South Pole.
What are located in the areas around earths poles?
These are obviously called the "polar zones," the Arctic and the Antarctic.
What latitudes are the areas north of the Arctic Circle called?
high latitudes
