Imaginary lines going north to south?
-- If the line is straight through the center of the Earth, then it's
the Earth's axis of rotation.
-- If the line is marked on the Earth's surface and stops at both poles,
then it's a meridian of longitude.
What degrees is the North Pole on a map?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees latitude on a map, specifically at 90 degrees north latitude.
Are the north and south pole ice caps?
There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
Is it unhealthy to fly over the north pole?
Flying over the North Pole is not inherently unhealthy, but there are considerations for flight crew and passengers due to increased radiation exposure at high altitudes and potential magnetic interference with navigational systems. Airlines have safety measures in place to mitigate these risks, and flights over the North Pole are common with no significant health issues reported for passengers.
What are the degrees of latitude of the North and South Poles?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What is the North Pole made of?
The North Pole is not so much a thing as it is a place: Thursday, August 2, 2007 Russian expedition Arktika 2007 made the first descent to the ocean bottom below the North Pole, and planted a titanium flag of Russia on the seabed. Submarines have in the past traveled below the Arctic ice cap, but this is the first time man has reached the seabed below the North Pole. The Mir-1 and a second Mir-2 submarine face the challenge of diving 13,980 feet (4,261 metres) deep, and then having to resurface at the exact location where they've submerged, because they are not strong enough to penetrate the ice themselves. The nuclear ice-breaker vessel Rossiya is keeping the ice open for the research ship and the submarines. * http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Russia_made_the_first_descent_to_the_ocean_bottom_below_the_North_Pole
At the poles water is in the state all year?
At the poles, water is typically in the form of ice or snow throughout the year due to the extremely cold temperatures. This ice contributes to the formation of polar ice caps that cover the land masses in Antarctica and the Arctic region.
Who was the first man to reach the north pole born 1865-1955?
Robert Edwin Peary, an American explorer, is credited with being the first person to reach the North Pole in 1909. He achieved this feat on an expedition he led with his team of explorers.
How are the north and south pole similar?
No way are they similar, apart from ice and cold, They are two completely different regions of the Earth. That would like saying a rainforest and a desert are similar.
The Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by land. While Antarctica is a continent with mountain ranges and lakes surrounded by an ocean.
The southernmost continent has roughly 90 percent of the world's ice, which amounts to nearly three quarters of the Earth's fresh water being locked away there. While the Arctic is frozen seawater.
The Antarctic is so cold that the snow never melts in many areas of the continent. The region's average temperature is about -56 degrees Fahrenheit (-49 degrees Celsius), making it the coldest climate on earth. In contrast, the Arctic's average winter temperature is -29 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius), but it gets warmer in the summer. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -128 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.6 degrees Celsius), recorded July 21, 1983, at the Vostok Station located near the South Geomagnetic Pole.
What is the distance from the north pole to the south pole through the center of the earth?
well the density beetween the south pole and the north pole is 17254748000 miles between the two ecause that's what i heard from wikipedia check it out.
-Edit (fxz)
The density of the Earth varies per layer. Also, in the crust, there are minerals of differing densities. The inner core is the densest, then the outer core, followed by the other layers. In short, the Earth is densest in the middle and less dense at the outside, and is designed like a gigantic Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Therefore, there is no fixed density for the Earth, although the average density is (5.9742 × 10kg) divided by (1,083,207,317,374km3).
That would yield approximately your result.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True.
The magnetic poles move constantly.
What is the only direction you can go from North Pole?
The only direction you can go from the North Pole is south.
Is the ice water in the north pole sweet?
No, ice water at the North Pole is not sweet. It is made up of frozen seawater, which does not contain any sugar or sweetness.
What ocean surrounds north pole?
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean.
SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
What did Matthew Henson discover in 1909?
Matthew Henson, along with Robert E. Peary, claimed to be the first to reach the North Pole in 1909. However, there is debate over whether they actually reached the exact geographic North Pole due to discrepancies in their navigation records.
Name three continets that are between the equator and the north pole?
North America, Europe, and Asia are three continents that are located between the equator and the North Pole.
If you stand on the north pole what is the only way you can go?
they reached it by dogsled not plane or boat or train, just dogsled.
Does anyone live in the south pole or north pole?
There are no permanent residents at the South Pole, as it is an inhospitable environment with only research station staff staying for temporary periods. At the North Pole, no one lives there as it is located in the Arctic Ocean covered by shifting sea ice.
What is the latitude of the north and south poles?
The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees south.
How many miles per hour does the North Pole rotate?
The North Pole does not rotate. It remains fixed in one spot while the Earth rotates beneath it. Earth's rotational speed varies depending on the latitude, with the maximum speed at the equator being approximately 1,040 miles per hour.
What is Area between 66.5 and the north pole is called what?
The region between 66.5 degrees north latitude and the North Pole is called the Arctic Circle. This area experiences the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun during the summer solstice, where the sun remains visible 24 hours a day.
Who was the first person to visit the north pole?
The Vikings 800AD
William Barents 1594/95
Henry Hudson 1607 to 1611 (Four Voyages)
William Parry 1827
Elisha Kent Kane 1853
Charles Hall 1871
Fredrick Cook 1908
Robert Parry 1909
Richard Byrd 1926
While this is not a definitive list, it lists the most important (and controversial ) explorations.
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
