The Antarctic Circle runs through the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica.
What else can I help you with?
What sea is the antarctic circle in?
The Antarctic circle passes through the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and the South Atlantic. Some scientist refer to this as the Antarctic Ocean, but it is not an ocean in the classic sense.
Why Antarctic Circle is more ice than Arctic Circle?
There is a continent south of the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic Circle surrounds sea ice.
What are the two large seas that are within the Antarctic Circle?
You're thinking of the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea.
What can you say about someone who lives in the Antarctic Circle?
The Antarctic Circle crosses open ocean water for 99% of its length, meaning that a tiny percent of the circle crosses land -- Antarctica, in fact. At the precise location of the Antarctic Circle on Antarctica, there are no known residents. At sea, a sailor would work hard to maintain any residency in the Antarctic Circle. Your name for this person would be up to you to define.
Does the Prime Meridian pass through Antarctica or the Arctic Circle?
Both. It runs from Pole to Pole. Every meridian of longitude on Earth crosses the Antarctic Circle,the Arctic Circle, and every other parallel of latitude on Earth.Yes to both.The prime meridian is a line of longitude and therefore passes through both the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are lines of lattitude.
What is the difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere and surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere and surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle is characterized by polar bears and a mix of land and sea ice, while the Antarctic Circle is known for penguins and a landmass covered by a thick ice sheet.
What state does a emperor penguin live in?
At the Antarctic Circle including Weddell Sea,Queen Maud Land,Enderby Land,Princess Elizabeth Land and Ross Sea.
Is it colder at the Arctic Circle than the Antarctic Circle?
Both are theoretically the same. It depends on the accuracy of your measurements and the method of measurement. Are you measuring at exactly theoretical sea level or up and down mountains and valleys (along the sea floor?) etc. I do believer that the Earth is slightly larger south of the equator and so the Antarctic circle could be larger.
What seas run through the equator?
The South China Sea, the Philippine Sea, and the Java Sea all run through the equator.
What is the sea east of the Antarctic Peninsula?
You can find the Weddell Sea east of the Antarctic Peninsula.
What polar region is larger?
The north and south polar regions are the same size. They are defined by the Arctic and Antarctic Circles respectively. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude. The Antarctic and Arctic Circles are the points at sea level at which the sun does not appear over the horizon at the respective Winter Solstices.
