North Pole

The north poles of magnets repel each other, while the south poles attract each other. This is due to the orientation of the magnetic field lines.

The first British pole vaulter to win an Olympic medal was Dorothy Tyler in the 1936 Olympics. She won a silver medal in the women's pole vault event.

At the North Pole, a day lasts for six months, with continuous daylight for 24 hours during the summer months and continuous darkness for 24 hours during the winter months. This phenomenon is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.

This is the whole question: Which was true of school systems in the North?

A. Most African American schools had white teachers. B. There was no segregation. C. They were separate but equal. D. African American schools received less money than white schools did.

the correct answer is: D

The frigid zones experience six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This tilt causes the angle of sunlight to vary throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of polar day and polar night at high latitudes. During polar day, the sun never sets, while during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period.

No, "north seeking" should not be capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.

The physical North and South Poles are fixed points on Earth's axis and cannot meet. However, conceptually, if you travel directly north and south from a starting point, the paths would eventually converge at the Earth's axis.

The North Pole is located at the northernmost point of the Earth's axis, characterized by cold temperatures, ice, and snow. Deserts, on the other hand, are areas with low precipitation and are characterized by hot temperatures and sparse vegetation. So, the main difference is in their climate and geographical location.

A gondolier's pole is called a "remo" in Italian. It is used to steer and propel the gondola through the water in Venice, Italy.

"To our knowledge there are no studies concerning UV-B effects on penguins. As their eyes are exposed to a lot of UV due to the high reflectivity of snow and a marked enhancement during the ozone hole, investigation into the impact on penguins is desirable. The fact that penguins are visual predators, eating krill or fish in the water column, would make any eye damage an important issue for survival."

Those are the Earth's magnetic field lines, which extend from the North Pole to the South Pole and form a protective shield around the planet. They help protect the Earth from solar wind and cosmic radiation.

The crusader you are referring to is Petrus Peregrinus. He is credited with creating one of the earliest known recorded descriptions of a magnetized needle compass and studying the properties of magnets.

No. The true north pole and the magnetic north pole are in different locations. The compass will point at the magnetic north pole. If you happened to be somewhere between the two north poles, the compass will point exactly backwards!

A standard tetherball pole is typically 10 feet in height, with an additional 2 feet of the pole buried underground for stability. This makes the total length of the pole 12 feet.

I have never heard of this. Explorers use vehicles such as snowmobiles, Aircraft, ships, etc. All kinds of specialized camping-type and survival gear ( electronic positon finders, some specially adapted to either arctic or antarctic geopositioning)- but I have never heard this green vegetable arguments. On the other hand exploration diaries do not normally include menus!

No, magnetic north is not at the top of the Earth. Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points towards, which can be different from true north (the North Pole). The magnetic north pole is actually located in northern Canada and shifts over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

Cacti are adapted to hot, dry climates with well-draining soil. The extreme cold temperatures and lack of sunlight at the North Pole would not provide the necessary conditions for a cactus to survive. Additionally, cacti require specific care and cannot withstand freezing temperatures for extended periods.

Any latitude north of roughly "66.5° North" is north of the Arctic Circle.

The deviation card of a magnetic compass is specific to the location and magnetic conditions where it was calibrated. Deviation values change when crossing the magnetic equator due to differences in magnetic variation between the two hemispheres. Therefore, a deviation card calibrated in the northern hemisphere may not accurately represent the deviations experienced in the southern hemisphere.

The South Pole has larger icebergs compared to the North Pole. Antarctica, near the South Pole, has massive ice shelves that produce huge icebergs when they break off. The North Pole, on the other hand, consists mostly of floating sea ice, which generally results in smaller icebergs.

Yes, the North Pole experiences summer, but it is relatively short compared to winter. During the summer months, temperatures can rise above freezing, resulting in some melting of the sea ice. However, the summer season is still cold and brief compared to other regions.

The N pole of a compass points towards northern Canada because Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. The Earth's magnetic north pole is located near northern Canada, so the N pole of a compass aligns with this magnetic field direction.

There are no holes in a pole, regardless of the number.

Tracing the pole connection back to the same type of pole ensures proper connectivity and compatibility between the meter and the electrical source. This helps prevent electrical mishaps, ensures accurate meter readings, and maintains safety standards within the electrical system.
