Why is it important that an International Date Line runs through Pacific Ocean from the North Pole to the South Pole?
It's important for the International Date Line to run through the Pacific Ocean to avoid splitting apart major land masses and to minimize disruptions in international communication and travel. This alignment helps maintain consistent time zones and prevents confusion about dates and days when crossing the line.
What else can I help you with?
Where are the most vaconoes at?
In the ring of fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Running down the W of the Americas, westwards through the coast of Antarctica (many sparse gaps), then up through New Zealand the then through the Pacific (Tonga and the Philippines have the famous deep trenches), then further north through Japan and on to Alaska.
How many gyres are in the northern hemisphere?
There are five major gyres in the Northern Hemisphere: the North Atlantic Gyre, the North Pacific Gyre, the South Atlantic Gyre, the South Pacific Gyre, and the Indian Ocean Gyre.
The international what marks the location where a new day begins?
The International Date Line marks the location where a new day begins. It is an imaginary line that runs north to south in the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° line of longitude. Crossing this line eastward results in moving the clock back 24 hours, while crossing it westward means moving the clock ahead 24 hours.
What country is not apart of the space station team?
North Korea is not a part of the International Space Station team.
Point that earth axis passes through?
The Earth's axis passes through the North and South Poles. This axis is an imaginary line that runs through the center of the Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole. It is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, which is what causes the seasons.
International date line passes through where?
Through the Pacific Ocean, and between the north pole and the south pole.
The International Date Line passes thru which ocean?
through the middle of the Pacific Ocean
What ocean does the international dateline pass?
The international dateline passes through the Pacific Ocean. The international dateline is an imaginary line that is 180 degrees east of the Greenwich Meridian.
Did Christopher Columbus go through the north Pacific Ocean or the south Pacific Ocean?
north
What is international dateline have to do with Texas?
The International Date Line runs from north pole to south pole through mostly the Pacific Ocean and is the longitude where the day changes crossing east to west. It doesn't really have anything to do with the State of Texas.
Why is northwest passage important?
It is important as a shipping route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in the north.
Are the prime meridian and the international date line the same?
No. They're exactly on opposite sides of the Earth. The Prime Meridian connects the north and south poles running through England, and the International Dateline closely follows the meridian of 180° longitude, connecting the poles and running through the Pacific Ocean.
What is the imaginary strip running down the middle of the Atlantic ocean from the north pole to the north pole?
Do you mean the international dateline that runs north to south across the pacific? I'm pretty sure it is the Prime Meridian. But I'm not positive, so don't count on it. The prime meridian runs through greenwich (i.e. the opposite of the international dateline), not the Atlantic.
Which two plates run through California?
The Pacific and North American Plates.
Is the Pacific Ocean the same as the North Pacific Ocean?
Basically. There's a North Pacific and a South Pacific. I think. (ex: the North Pacific garbage thing)
What was the Long searched for route from the Atlantic to the pacific through north America?
the northwest passage
Are the prime meridian and the international date line the same thing?
The difference is 180 degrees of longitude. They're two different [imaginary] lines on the earth's surface, directly opposite each other. The Prime Meridian connects the north and south poles and runs through Europe and Africa. The International Date Line also connects the north and south poles, but runs down the other side of the earth, through the Pacific Ocean. If you stand at any point on either one of them (except at the north or south pole), then you can't see any point on the other one.
