They are called the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
The Arctic and the Antarctic
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.
These are obviously called the "polar zones," the Arctic and the Antarctic.
These are obviously called the "polar zones," the Arctic and the Antarctic.
The region between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole is called the Arctic region. The region between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole is called the Antarctic region.
The imaginary circle on Earth where the South Pole starts is called the Antarctic Circle. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.
No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points, then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.
You are in the arctic region.The pole in Antarctica is called the south pole.
The Arctic was known and explored before humans ventured to the southern polar regions. Antarctica's name is simply anti-arctic.
Polar Zones
Polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the globe also known as frigid zones. The Northe pole and the South pole being the centres, these regions being dominated by the polar ice caps, resting respectively on the Arctic Ocean and the continent of Antarctica. Polar sea ice is currently diminishing, possibly as a global warming.
The polar region around the North Pole is called the Arctic and the polar region around the South Pole is called the Antarctic Region
