Equator

Well, at the Amunsden-Scott Station at the geographic south pole, your magnetic compass will point north, as the south magnetic pole is several thousands of km north of the spin pole. It lies well off the coast of Antarctica, which may be (very) roughly considered to be at 67.5oS.

It is moving at a good clip in a northerly direction, as the molten rock masses in the interior of the Earth (which create the magnetic field) change shape and position.

Ocean currents moving away from the equator typically bring colder waters from higher latitudes towards the equator. These colder waters often carry nutrients, which can impact marine ecosystems and provide a source of food for various marine organisms.

Yes, earthquakes can happen near the equator. The occurrence of earthquakes is not limited to specific regions and can happen anywhere along tectonic plate boundaries, including those near the equator. The factors that contribute to earthquakes, such as plate movement and interactions, can be present in equatorial regions.

Regions closer to the poles, such as the Arctic or Antarctic regions, typically have cooler temperatures compared to regions near the equator. This is due to the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth at different latitudes, resulting in less direct sunlight and cooler temperatures in polar regions.

No. Saudia Arabia is north of the equator.

Washington D.C. is north of the equator. It lies at a latitude of approximately 38.9° North.

It varies depending on both the region of earth you are suggesting and the time of year/day. But, as an example, at the equator in Brazil on a hot day, temperatures can range from 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

Longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian. Traveling longitude refers to moving along this east-west axis on Earth's surface. You can travel longitude by moving either eastwards or westwards around the globe, crossing multiple time zones in the process.

The east end of Runway 30 at Norman Manley Airport at Kingston is 1,992.35 km

north of the equator.

The other end of the same runway is 994.67 meters farther from it, and the

majority of the rest of Jamaica is even farther. For example, the east end of

Runway 25 at Sangster International at Mo' Bay is 2,056.43 km north of the

equator.

Water expands at the equator due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation. This force effectively bulges the water in that region, resulting in a slightly larger volume compared to water at the poles.

Quito, Ecuador, located at a latitude of 00°15′00 (15 minutes of a degree away from the Equator) has a annual average temperature of 14°C (57.2°F). The city maintains a relatively constant high temperature of 18.7°C (65.7°F) and a constant low of 9.3°C (48.7°F) throughout the year.

Quito is in the Subtropical - Highland Climate Zone.

There has been evidence of at least 12 major eruptions of Mount Santorini in the past 200,000 years. The most famous eruption occurred around 1600 BC, leading to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete. Since then, the volcano has had smaller eruptions and is still considered active today.

Belize is located about 17 degrees north of the equator, which means it is not very close to the equator compared to other countries. This positioning gives Belize a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

China is located north of the Equator.

The land cover for Borneo near the Equator includes tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, and peat swamp forests. These areas are characterized by high biodiversity and are home to various species of plants and animals. Human activities such as agriculture, logging, and palm oil plantations have also impacted the land cover in the region.

I am not physically located anywhere, but the equator is 0 degrees latitude. The distance from the equator in kilometers would depend on the specific location you are referring to.

No, the Equator runs through the middle of Africa. Barcelona is closer to the Tropic of Cancer than the Equator.

The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago located west of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. They are famous for their unique wildlife and played a significant role in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

The equator defines both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is an imaginary line that runs around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into these two hemispheres.

No, Bolivia is not crossed by the equator. The equator passes through countries in Africa, South America, and Asia, but it does not intersect with Bolivia.

Mali is located mostly in the northern hemisphere, with a small portion extending into the southern hemisphere. The majority of the country lies to the north of the equator.

Generally, you can always find ice at higher altitudes, even in temperate climates.

There is always ice on every continent on earth. Notably, 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, as is Greenland, with about 80% of its surface covered with an ice sheet.

The celestial equator is the imaginary line in the heavens that runs around the Earth midway between the celestial poles. It is an extension of Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere and divides the sky into northern and southern hemispheres.
