What else can I help you with?
In which direction would you be heading if you were going from the south pole to australia?
North. All directions from the South Pole start out as nominally north. But the magnetic poles, north and south, are not in the same spot as the geographic poles.
Where do the meridians meet?
The meridians meet at the poles, which are the points on Earth's surface where the lines of longitude converge. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude meet, and the same is true for the South Pole.
Does every meridian have the same length and the same beginning and end points?
No, not all meridians have the same length or the same beginning and end points. Meridians are imaginary lines on the Earth's surface that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England, is considered the starting point for measuring longitude.
Why are there 2 norths magnetic north and the true north?
True north relates to what we consider the north pole. However the axis on magnetic terms isn't in the same location. Magnetic north is still north but there is an angle difference between the two.
Can you identify the various latitudinal geographic zones that roughly subdivide Earth's surface?
The lower latitude are the zones that are near the equator and the higher zones are near the poles. There are a total of 9 different latitudinal geographic zones. the artic zone which is 66.5 N to the North Pole. Subartic Zone which is 55 N to 66.5N. Midlatitude zone 35 N to 55 N. Subtropical Zone which is at 23.5 N to 35N and the Equatorial and tropical zone. 23.5 N to 23.5N. It is the same in the south expect all of the North will be replaced by south, the only pole difference is The Antarctic instead of the artic. The Antarctic zone starts from 66.5 S to South pole. The two extreme zones Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are the most extreme northern and southern parallels. They both experience the sun rays in a perpendicular position at their local noon time.
Is the Arctic Circle the same thing as the South Pole?
No. The North Pole is the center of the Arctic Circle and the South Pole is the center of the Antarctic Circle. The Polar Circles are about 20-odd degrees from the poles.
Is the Arctic situated in the North Pole?
No just the opposite actually. Lapland is a region rather than a country. Falling above the Arctic Circle, Laplandstretches from Russia through Finland, Sweden and Norway.
Is the North Pole the same as the Arctic?
no it is not
Is the North Pole near Antarctica or europe?
The North Pole is near the Arctic region, which is located in the northern part of the Earth near the North Pole. Antarctica is at the opposite end of the Earth, in the southern hemisphere. Europe is a continent located between Asia and the Atlantic Ocean.
Where on the map are the Arctic and Antarctic circles?
The Arctic Circle is slightly less than 3/4 of the way from the equator to the North Pole at a latitude of 66 degrees, 33 minutes, 36 seconds. The Antarctic Circle is the same distance from the equator to the South Pole. Depending on the map, they may not be shown.
Which is closer to New Zealand the Antarctic or the Arctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle marks an area north of the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle marks an area south of the Equator, where there is at least one 24-hour period annually of no sunrise or sunset.
What is closest to the arctic ocean?
The North Pole.
What is the difference between the Arctic and the North Pole?
The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude roughly 66 and 1/2 degrees north of the Equator. The North Pole is the center of that circle.
Which country is North pole in?
The North Pole and the area around it are not owned by any country. The same applies to the South Pole and Antarctica. Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Russia, and the US ( Alaska) are the countries owning land adjoining the North Pole zone.
What is the distance from the Arctic Circle to Stuttgart DE?
The Arctic Circle is currently at latitude 66.5622°N. Stuttgart is at 48.7786°N. The distance from the pole to the equator along the same longitude is 10,000 km, so Stuttgart, Germany, is 1,976 km from the Arctic Circle.
What is bigger South Pole or North Pole?
The North Pole and South Pole at just imaginary points on Earth the mark the northernmost and southernmost points of Earth, which means they are of the same 'size'. However, if you meant whether the Arctic Ocean or Antarctica is bigger, then the answer is the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean is 14,056,000 km2, while Antactica is 14,000,000 km2.
Does the Arctic have a briefer summer than the Antarctic?
The tilt of the Earth's axis is the same whether you are at the North Pole or the South Pole, so the summers should be the same duration.
