Yes, millions of years ago, Antarctica was located closer to the equator within a warmer climate. This was due to the shifting of tectonic plates and changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt.
What else can I help you with?
Was their ever a country called aligania?
No, there has never been a country called Aligania. It does not correspond to any recognized country in history.
What is the driest continent?
Australia is the driest inhabited continent.Antarctica is the driest of all the continents.This is because in Antarctica it is too cold for the sun to heat up the oceans or melt the ice, so it will not evaporate. Additionally, cold air (especially below freezing), cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air.Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest place on Earth. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -89.6 degrees Celsius. Wind speeds during gales can reach 320km per hour. The average wind speed is over 70km per hour. These conditions can be a difficulty because of the cold, windy weather.AnswerYes, the driest inhabited continent would be Australia but in overall the answer is Antarctica. As this is a surprise, read the explanation below:Antarctica is also the coldest continent on Earth so everything freezes to ice but it doesn't mean they receive loads of ice and snow from the sky (like normal temperate countries receive rain from the sky) to make the continent freezing. The reason it is cold is because our planet is a tilted sphere. The sun shines more to the Equator (but the areas of the Equator are tropical so there are always clouds blocking the rays of sun, anyway) and makes it hotter apart from the hot deserts. Therefore, the further the region is from the Equator, the colder it is. This means that most of the time, it is too cold around the Antarctic Circle to heat up the icy waters from evaporation because the Antarctic is at the utter south of the sphere.The amount of evaporation is so low that this icy continent receives less than 13mm of snow/ice every year!I'm not trying to show-off my general knowledge skills but I hope this helps your understanding!
What is the highest and lowest temperature on Earth?
The highest temperature in record was from the Libyan desert for 136 Fahrenheit or 58 Celsius. The coldest temperature in return was -126 Fahrenheit or -88 Celsius that was measured from Vostok Station, Antarctica.
How is history connected with geography?
Well in history it can be linked to politics because peopple such as JFK he was president and look at the history behind that. also geography is a huge part in history because you need to know where things happened the same example again JFK got assassinated in Dallas, texas. therfore politics and geography are related to history. hope this helps. On the contrary, I think the question should be answered thus, of course geography is related to both history and politics, because where ever in the world you live and work, will have different politics and history. Both past and present acts by governments, religion or peoples create history....China has a different philosophy to USA and the USA has a different history etc to other countries. You cannot generalise, and certainly the sad death of JFK has nothing to do with geography, all to do with politics and is now history.
Where is the driest place in the world?
The driest place in the world is Antarctica. Some parts of the continent haven't seen rain for two million years.As well as the driest place on earth, Antarctica can also claim to be the wettest and the windiest. Seventy percent of the world's fresh water is found there in the form of ice, and its wind speeds are the fastest ever recorded.
Do the Gambians ever get snow?
No they are too close to the equator for snow
IS the amazon rainforest ever cold?
no because the equator is close to the amazon
What two conditions make Antarctica the coldest place ever?
1- Antarctica is in the south pole and there for the sun's rays reach it less than in the equator. 2- It has the Atlantic ocean at it's coasts.
Is My Tragic History the best band ever?
not even close
What is the lowest air temperature ever in history?
The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -136 degrees Fahrenheit (-93 degrees Celsius) measured in Antarctica on August 10, 2010. Lower temperatures may have occurred at other times, considering Antarctica was not even known to have existed for most of human history and we cannot monitor all locations.
