Do the earth's magnetic poles have reversed themselves?

Yes, in the history of Earth, it has happened a handful of times. When it switches we experience what we call a pole reversal. Right now Earth is currently in the process of a pole reversal (the South Pole is moving northwards).

Is the Arctic situated in the North Pole?

No just the opposite actually. Lapland is a region rather than a country. Falling above the Arctic Circle, Laplandstretches from Russia through Finland, Sweden and Norway.

If you were standing on the north pole what direction would you be looking?

Every direction for 360 degrees is south. You can still go up or down, though.

What is the cleanest place on earth?

Comedian Michael McIntyre claims it's Montreal.

On a more serious note.

The cleanest place on Earth is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Built by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, this colossal collider took 10 years to complete and sits beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva.

Who was the first black American to reach the north pole in 1909?

One of a team of six that first reached the North Pole on April 6th, 1909. The team consisted of Robert E. Perry, Matthew Henson and 4 Inuit: Ootah, Ooqueah, Seeglo and Egigingwah. As the expedition was led by Perry, history considers him to have been first to reach the pole.

Are there any plants in the south pole?

No, plants do not grow naturally in the South Pole due to extreme cold temperatures, very short growing seasons, and lack of sunlight during winter months. The harsh conditions make it nearly impossible for plant life to survive in this region.

How far is the Philippines from the north pole in degrees?

The Philippines lies between about 10 and 15 degrees north of the Equator.

What is the warmest temperature in the north pole?

Which way is north at the north pole?

If you are at the North pole, the north pole of the magnetic needle in the compass will tilt a little, downwards, and the south pole of the compass needle will tilt upwards. If you hold the compass in a direction vertically perpendicular to the surface of the earth, the needle will align itself like the earth's magnetic field, as if it were a huge bar magnet, the north part of the needle facing upwards.

Why is there a difference between the temperature at the equator and the north and south poles?

One difference is that the earth is tilted on a axis so the sun hits the equator more so then it does the poles because the north pole I wanna say faces away and the south pole goes under the rays

What is the temperature at the north pole right now?

In winter, temperatures at the North Pole and in the Arctic can range from about −43 °C to −26 °C , or −45 °F to −15 °F. Summer temperatures average around the freezing point, which is 0 °C, or 32 °F.

Temperatures are lower at the South Pole and the surrounding Antarctic. Winter temperatures range between −65 °C and −70 °C, and summer temperatures range between −25 °C and −45 °C.

What is the difference between the geographic North and the magnetic North pole?

The Earth's geographic poles are the points 90 degrees north and south of the Equator at which all lines of longitude intersect. The Earth also has magnetic poles near these points with which compass needles align themselves. The south magnetic pole is off Wilkes Land, Antarctica, about 1,710 miles from the geographic South Pole. The north magnetic pole is on Ellef Ringnes Island in northern Canada, about 870 miles from the geographic North Pole.

How does wildlife survive in the north and South Pole?

The same way animals do that aren't in the North Pole...Except they have more hair than the others to keep them warm.

It is important to note that there are not actually any animals at the North Pole itself, but rather, these creatures dwell mainly in the arctic regions around the North Pole. The North Pole cannot support animal life - it is nothing more than a floating ice shelf. Those that live in the Arctic waters (which are warmer than the North Pole) have thick layers of blubber and fat to insulate them against the cold. They feed on fish and zoo-plankton on the water, none of which are warmblooded so are not affected by the temperatures. Those that live on the continents within the Arctic are living in regions much warmer than the North Pole, so have more food sources.

How many gallons of water are in the north and south pole?

Sea-level rise is an increase in sea level. Multiple complex factors may influence this change.From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr. Since 1900 the level has risen at 1 to 2 mm/yr; since 1993 satellite altimetry from TOPEX/Poseidon indicates a rate of rise of 3.1 ± 0.7 mm yr-1 . Church and White (2006) found a sea-level rise from January 1870 to December 2004 of 195 mm, a 20th century rate of sea-level rise of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm per yr and a significant acceleration of sea-level rise of 0.013 ± 0.006 mm per year. If this acceleration remains constant, then the 1990 to 2100 rise would range from 280 to 340 mm,. Sea-level rise can be a product of global warming through two main processes: thermal expansion of sea water and widespread melting of land ice. Global warming is predicted to cause significant rises in sea level over the course of the twenty-first century. If this continues , more flooding may occur in low - land places and more animals that live in the north and south poles may become endangered.

Who was the first man to fly over the south pole?

16 men and one dog were the first to fly over the North Pole on May 12th 1926. They thought they were actually the second to fly over the pole as Richard Byrd claimed to have done it three days earlier, but this was later discovered to be falsified.

They were the crew of the Airship Norge and were, Umberto Nobile, Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth, Oscar Wisting, 1st Lt. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, 1st Lt. Emil Horgen, Capt. Birger Gottwaldt, Dr Finn Malmgren, Fredrik Ramm, Frithjof Storm-Johnsen, Flying Lt. Oscar Omdal, Chief Mechanic Cecioni, Rigger Alesandrini, and Motor-Mechanics Arduino, Caratti and Pomella. Nobile's dog, Titina, also came aboard as a mascot.
