What is the northernmost and southernmost point in the world called?
The northernmost point of Earth is the geographic North Pole, in the Arctic Ocean. It defines geodetic latitude 90° North, as well as the direction of true north. The North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. The water is almost permanently covered with shifting sea ice.The southernmost point of the world is the geographic South Pole, which is on the continent of Antarctica. The geographic coordinates of the South Pole are usually given simply as 90°S. It's on Antarctica, which is a featureless, barren, windswept, icy plateau.
What happens when oceanic crust scrape against continental crust?
As the plates scrape against each other, one goes under the other (for instance, the Pacific plate is inching it's way under the North American plate) causing tension to build along that point. At some point, enough tension builds that the upper plate "springs" back up, possibly causing an earthquake, and possibly causing a tsunami. This is what caused the Indonesian tsunami 12/26/2004.
How high is the earth highest point?
The earth highest point Mount Everest is 8848 (29,029 feet) meters above the sea level. In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of India established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 29,002 ft (8,840 m). In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon recommendation of Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India at the time.
Briefly describe how the epicenter of an earthquake is located?
With the help of seismograph you can find arrival time of secondary wave and primary wave. The difference in time in seconds multiplied by 8 will give you the distance of focus the starting point of earthquake. Even though the speed of these waves differs according the geographical condition the difference in speed is almost constant and it is 8 k/m per second. Therefore you can draw a circle from that station .The focus point should be some where on the circumference of the circle. When you get the data from other seismic station you can draw another circle from that station that will cut the previous circle in two points .One among the two point must be the focus point. When you draw the circle in the same way from third station this will pass through one among the two meeting point of the previous circles. This point is focus.The imaginary point just above focus on earth is the epicenter. To have clear idea about this visit my slide show .I have also found a new method to find the epicenter from single station using my direction finder to gether with seismograph.It is approximate quite enough to issue Tsunami warning. I have issued the warning 2 hours before Tsunami struck our Indian coast but it was ignored. My web site . please be patient to down load .

Is indira point still there after tsunami?
The tsunami has generated by the Indian Ocean earthquake on 2004 inundated much of its area that partly damaging the lighthouse subsided 4.25 m in the tsunami. As a result of this subsidence, the coast retreated and the sea permanently came inwards. The lighthouse has been made functional since then. The base of the lighthouse was 5 m above sea level when constructed on 1972 to until the tsunami. After the tsunami, the sea rose and the base was less than a metre above the sea level showing a subsidence of sea floor by over 4 metres. It has observed that the sea is slowly starting to retreat back partly to its original position and the subsidence has decreased as the ocean floor is slowly bouncing back partially This southern tip of the Great Nicobar island, "Pygmalion Point", is the southernmost point of India. Though the "Vivekananda Rock" of Kanyakumari is the southern most point of Indian mainland, the "Pygmalion Point" is actually the southernmost point of the country as it is situated at a lower latitude and closer to the equator 6*,45 N. After the demise of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, this point was named "Indira Point".
