Where does the oblateness of the earth occur?
At the poles.
What part on earth is located at 90 degrees latitude?
The earth's poles.
What are the points where the Earth's axis passes through the Earth's surface?
They are the poles.
What id the difference between the equator and the poles?
The equator is the center of the earth's surface which is an equal distance from each pole. The poles are points on both sides of the earth which supposedly create the magnetic field around the earth.
Where are the most recent earthquakes occurring?
I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth. I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth.
What the end of the earth's axis are called?
The North and South Poles are the ends of the earth's geographical axis.
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Are the North Pole and the south pole geographical poles?
yes, the north and south poles are geographical poles.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
How are positions in geographic compared to magnetic poles?
Geographic poles refer to the Earth's axis points where it meets the surface (North and South Poles), while magnetic poles refer to points where the Earth's magnetic field is the strongest. These poles do not align exactly; the geographic poles are fixed, while the magnetic poles can shift position over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Is it true earth magnetic poles are located on its axis?
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located on its geographical axis. The magnetic poles are actually offset from the geographic poles, with the magnetic north pole currently located in the Arctic region of Canada and drifting over time.
What are 2 poles of magnet?
magnet has two poles..one is north pole n the other is south pole. the earth also has a magnet within it which has a dierction opposite to the direction of the geographical poles.i.e. the geographical north of earth is its magnetic south and vice versa. If a bar magnet is suspended freely , its one end is attracted to the magnetic north which is geographical south of earth n therefore that end of the magnet is called south pole.and the other end is called north pole.
Difference between magnetic meridian and geographical meridian?
A magnetic meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its magnetic north and south poles, while a geographical meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its geographic north and south poles. The magnetic meridian is affected by the Earth's magnetic field, while the geographical meridian is based on the Earth's rotation.
Why does a compass does not show exact geographical poles?
A compass needle points to the magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic poles. There is nothing special about the magnetic field at the geographic poles.
What does rotate mean in solar system?
spin; turn around an imaginary axis of rotation, like the one that includes Earth's geographical north and south poles
Why the lines of longitude are called the meridians of longitudes?
A meridian is a geographical name for a great circle of the Earth passing through the Poles and any given point on the Earth's surface. Derived from the Latin word 'Meridianus'
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
