Northern Hemisphere

The Earth is closer to the Sun by about 3 million miles (5 million km) in January than in July. This would seem to make the summer temperatures hotter in the Southern Hemisphere (and the winters colder). However, this is only true of localized regions. Most of the Southern hemisphere is water, which does not increase in temperature as much as land. The maritime climates of the Southern hemisphere are often cooler during their summer than summer in the continental areas of the Northern hemisphere.

The Southern Hemisphere has more ocean than the Northern Hemisphere, which acts as a heat sink, moderating the temperature variations. In the Southern Hemisphere, the distribution of land and water is more uniform, leading to smaller temperature fluctuations. The presence of the Antarctic ice sheet also helps stabilize temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.

Well i live in North America and i have never seen a glacier. I guess North America doesnt have any.

Renewable resources in the tundra include wildlife such as caribou and fish, as well as plant resources like berries and mosses. These resources are sustainably managed by indigenous communities for food, clothing, and shelter. Hydroelectric power from rivers fed by melting ice is also a renewable resource in the tundra.

If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.

If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.

The most northern part on Earth is the North Pole. It is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface.

This phenomenon is known as the summer solstice. It occurs around June 21st each year and marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. During this time, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the North Pole to be leaning most directly towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours.

Around a low-pressure system, surface wind circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This circulation directs air inward towards the low pressure center, creating convergence and lifting air, which can lead to cloud formation and precipitation. The strength of the winds is typically strongest closer to the center of the low pressure system.

The Earth is closest to the sun in early January, but the tilt of Earth's axis is the primary reason for seasons. When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it receives less direct sunlight, leading to winter.

There are more craters in the northern hemisphere because it has a higher percentage of land compared to the southern hemisphere, which is mostly covered by water. Land is more likely to preserve impact craters over time, whereas water or ice can erode or cover up craters. Additionally, the northern hemisphere has older geological terrains that have been exposed to impacts for longer periods.

The most northern point of the earth called is called the Arctic. This is commonly referred to as the North Pole where Santa is believed to live.

The Tropic of Capricorn.

Winter brings the shortest days and the least daylight ... in either hemisphere.

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.

The 48 states and D.C. together have an area of 3,119,884.69 square miles (8,080,464.25 km²). Of this, 2,959,064.44 sq mi (7,663,941.71 km²) is land, comprising 83.65% of U.S. land area. Officially, 160,820.25 sq mi (416,522.38 km²) is water area, comprising 62.66% of the nation's water area. Its 2000 census population was 279,583,437, comprising 99.35% of the nation's population. Its population density was 94.484 inhabitants/sq mi (36.48/km²), compared to 79.555/sq mi (30.716/km²) for the nation as a whole.

The United States of America is located between the North Pole and the equator. The country spans a wide range of latitudes, from the northern border with Canada near the North Pole to the southern border with Mexico near the equator.

The eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, lasted for around 9 hours, but its effects were felt for years afterwards due to the significant ashfall, destruction of surrounding landscape, and ongoing volcanic activity in the area.

The part of the Earth that is north of the equator is called the Northern Hemisphere.

The northern hemisphere is experiencing winter when the north pole is experiencing 24 hours of darkness.

In the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes sunlight to hit the region more directly as it moves towards the summer solstice in late June. This angle of sunlight increases the length of daytime hours and results in longer periods of daylight.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Its exact position on the horizon where it rises changes slightly throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

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.

The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.

The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.

The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.

No, Germany lies between the latitude lines of approximately 47N and 55N in the Northern Hemisphere.
