Touch what ? ! ?

The International Dateline touches more than 400 miles of Antarctica, and the

Pacific Ocean over most of its length. It also touches the meridian of 180° longitude

over most of its length, and it touches the Earth's surface at every inch of its full and

complete length of well over 12,000 miles.

Which reference line passes through both the geograhic North Pole and the geographic South Pole?

-- Parallels of latitude don't ever touch the poles. -- Technically, meridians of longitude touch the poles but don't pass through them, because the north and south poles are the two ends of each meridian. So they all meet at the poles, but don't pass through.


What happens when 2 south pole touch each other?

Two south poles on two magnets will repel each other. A north and a south pole on two magnets will attract each other.


Do lines of latitude ever touch?

A line of latitudes run east-west as circles parallel to the equator so only the northern-most and southern-most latitude would touch the pole. The north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, and the south pole at 90 degrees south latitude so only a single line of latitude (actually a point) is at each pole.Longitude lines run north-south so each line runs from pole to pole. All lines of longitude (also called meridians) come together at the poles so each pole has every longitude.


Does north stick to north for magnets?

No. The north sides of two magnets do not stick together because they have the same polarity. The north and south sides of a magnet, however, do stick together because they are on opposite poles and, pertaining to magnets, opposites attract. actually if you push two repelling magnets together so they touch they will stick, without flipping, not entirely sure why they don't repel but it seems that the magnetic fields somehow overlap, so that within the repelling field there is a small of the attracting field, i know this isn't true of the attracting side because the magnets stick together regardless, but on the repelling side when they touch they will stick


What is the point on Earth located at 90 degrees North latitude where the lines of longitude meet?

The South Pole is where the lines of longitude meet in the Southern Hemisphere. It happens at the North Pole as well.

Why does the international date line only touch north pole and south pole?

The International Date Line is an imaginary line that follows the 180° meridian. This line is drawn in a way that it avoids landmasses to prevent dividing countries or regions. The poles were chosen as the line's endpoints to have the least impact on human settlement.
