Is Antarctica south of Greenland?

Yes, Antarctica is located far south of Greenland. Greenland is in the North Atlantic Ocean, while Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere, at the South Pole.

What do you call the pole in the park?

The pole in the park is often called a "flagpole" if it is used to display a flag or a "light pole" if it is used for illumination.

Will the North Pole of one magnet attract to the North Pole of another magnet?

No. Two like poles repel each other; two different poles (north and south) attract each other. (This has a certain similarity with the electrostatic attraction and repulsion. However, while there are certain relationships between electricity and magnetism, they should still be considered different forces.)

What is the process by which Earth's magnetic poles change places?

The process by which Earth's magnetic poles change places is known as geomagnetic reversal. This occurs when the Earth's magnetic field weakens, causing the north and south magnetic poles to switch positions. This reversal can take thousands of years to complete.

Why is it hard to explore the polar regions?

There are so many challenges of exploring the ocean. In most cases, the mechanisms that are used will pollute the environment which will affect the ocean significantly. This has a negative effect on ocean which is an integral part of the environment.

Does equator has north and south degree?

The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude.

It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres.

The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.

Why a compass is attracted by the north pole but not the south pole?

The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).

What the furthest point north on the Earth is called?

The point furthest north on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees

north latitude, popularly referred to as the "north pole".

The point furthest south on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees

south latitude, popularly referred to as the "south pole".

Who popularised the theory of arctic region as the original home of aryans?

The Arctic Home in the Vedas is a seminal work on the origin of Aryans presented by Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a mathematician turned astronomer, historian, journalist, philosopher and political leader of India during 1880 to 1920. It propounded the theory that North Pole was the original home of Aryans during pre-glacial period which they had to leave due to the ice deluge around 8000 B.C. and had to migrate to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia in search of lands for new settlements. In support to his theory Tilak has presented certain Vedic hymns, Avestic passages, Vedic chronology and Vedic calendars with interpretations of the contents in detail. The book was written at the end of 1898 but was first published in March 1903 in Pune. (From Google)

What season is it in the Southern himispere if the north pole is tilted towards the sun?

The north pole is never pointed directly at the sun ever. Doing so would eradicate the presence of the seasons; it would always be hot in the northern area and always cold in the southern parts.

Why siberia is the coldest placein northern hemisphere not north pole?

Siberia experiences extreme cold temperatures due to its continental climate, with winter Arctic air masses bringing freezing conditions. In contrast, the North Pole is located over the Arctic Ocean, which moderates the temperature. Additionally, Siberia's landmass allows for colder temperatures to develop than in the open ocean surrounding the North Pole.

What languages are spoken in northwestern Spain?

The extreme northwest corner of Spain is called Galicia. Tbe official language is Spanish and I feel comfortable saying everyone can use Spanish. However, they do have their own language called Galician, or Gallego, which they use orally.

Wikipedia states "Modern Galician and modern Portuguese are descended from a single Latin-derived language which linguists today call Galician-Portuguese or Mediaeval Galician or Old Portuguese. This common ancestral language was spoken in the territories of the mediaeval Kingdom of Galicia."

At what degrees longitude is the North Pole located?

The north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.

The meridians of longitude all converge into a single point at the north pole

and at the south pole.

Does the Antarctic Region near the South Pole get colder than the Arctic Region near the North Pole?

Yes, the Antarctic Region near the South Pole generally experiences colder temperatures than the Arctic Region near the North Pole. This is due to various factors such as higher elevation of the Antarctic ice sheet, which promotes colder conditions, as well as differences in ocean currents and sea ice extent in the two regions.

What lines run north and south but are measured east and west of prime meridian?

Longitude lines run north ans south and latitude lines run west to east an easy way to remember is longitude has the word long in it ..so you know the those lines are vertical lines and that the latitude lines are the horizontal lines


The Prime Meridian is the line made out of all the points on earth that have

zero longitude and every possible latitude.

Do fish live in the North Pole?

Yes, in a way not so much in but close to it. Arctic Wolves live on the northern edge of the North American continent and northward to the North Pole, as well as along the eastern and northern shores of Greenland.

Why dousn't a magnet move to the North Pole?

It is impossible currently to create a magnet with only one pole, or magnetic monopole. This is because a magnet arises from the magnetic directional alignment of the material, so cutting a bar magnet in half will simply cause the two pieces to become their own bar magnets, both pointing the same way as the original.

What is the relationship between the geographic and geomagnetic poles?

The geographic poles are the points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, while the geomagnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the surface. The geographic poles are fixed, while the geomagnetic poles move due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

Do all the longitude lines pass through the south pole?

Well, not exactly. Technically, all meridians of longitude run between the north and

south poles, so their ends are at the poles, and they don't pass through. But you're

correct in your description that if you follow any line of longitude south, eventually

you wind up at the south pole, because they all meet there.

Why would the magnetic declination be different in different locations?

The big iron ball in the center of the Earthis is suspended in liquid rock and not perfectly centered, spinning but not orientated perfectly to the Earths poles. STherefore, the Earth tends to wobble around it and the magnitic poles are far from the geographic poles. As seen from any place, these poles are then relatively in different directions.

What divide the earth north and south latitude?

The Equator divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres based on latitude. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and circles the Earth at its widest point. Areas that lie north of the Equator are in the Northern Hemisphere, while areas south of it are in the Southern Hemisphere.
