We have several reference points on the Earth's surface, for our convenience. The North and South Poles are a couple. The choice of Greenwich as the zero longitude, and of the International Date Line are another two. These points have no specific feature on the surface, they are decided on for the convenience of the users.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two basic points of reference on the surface of the earth?
The two basic points of reference on the surface of the Earth are the North Pole and the South Pole. These points represent the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth's axis of rotation, respectively.

Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
What is a fixed place on earths surface from which direction and location can be described?
A fixed place on Earth's surface used as a reference point to describe direction and location is known as a geographic coordinate system. This system uses latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint specific locations on the globe.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is a fixed place on the earths surface?
reference point

How are baselines used to locate points on earths surface?
The Equator
How are these baselines used to located points on earths surface?
The Equator
Is the level of the ocean's surface used as a reference point when measuring height of depth of the earths surface?
Yes it is.
The points on the earths surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
epicenter
A reference point for determining position and motion could be?
The earths surface, a building, and a moving object
What are fixed places on earths surface from which direction and locations can be discribedd?
It would be the reference point. Hope this helps :)
Where is earths surface heated more south pole or north pole?
it is different in different points of the year.
How are longitude and latitude used to locate points on earths surface?
They are used to locate a certain place on a map.
What is Earths reference system?
Earth's reference system is based on latitude and longitude, with the equator serving as the reference for latitude and the Prime Meridian as the reference for longitude. This system allows for precise location determination on Earth's surface using coordinates.
