South Pole

Located in the southernmost portion of the Earth, South Pole is on the opposite side of the North Pole. Situated on the Antarctic continent, it is one of the points where the Earth’s surface intersects with its axis of rotation.

Who was the first person to drive to the north pole?

Jeremy Clarkson for a TV special of Top Gear in 2007

James May was passenger. Technically the camera crew and expedition team were there first. kiss my beans x

Do note that they drove to the 1996 location of the magnetic North Pole, not the top of the world (Geographic North Pole). The difference is roughly 1200km.

What is the color of bear in south pole?

There are no bears of any sort on Antarctica, where the South Pole is located.

How many people have been to both the north and south poles?

It is estimated that around 300-400 people have visited both the North and South Poles. These individuals are typically experienced adventurers, scientists, or explorers who have undertaken expeditions to both locations.

What is distance north or south of the earth's equator?

Latitude.

2nd answer:

Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth.

Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.

How many degrees is Nigeria from the equator?

Nigeria is located close to the equator, with the latitude range of Nigeria being approximately 4° North to 14° North. This means that Nigeria is between 4 to 14 degrees north of the equator.

What is special about the equinox and why is it especially important at the north and south poles?

The equinox is special because it marks the time when the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. At the poles, the equinox is significant because it marks the beginning of a period of continuous daylight (during the spring equinox) or continuous darkness (during the autumn equinox) due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

What is located at 90 south latitude?

90 degrees north latitude is a single point, referred to as the "north pole".

We leave it to you to reflect on this fact, and then to speculate on what the common label

might be for the point defined by 90 degrees southlatitude.

Is the magnetic South Pole located within the continent of Antarctica or just off the coast?

The magnetic South Pole is just off the coast of Antarctica, located in the Southern Ocean. It is constantly moving due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field and is not fixed at a specific point on land within the continent of Antarctica.

What is the country or city of 1 degree north and 101 degree south?

"1 degree north" describes a circle that goes all the way around the earth, parallel to the equator

and about 70 miles north of it.

There is no such coordinate as "101 degree south". The greatest possible latitude number is

90 degrees, at the north and south poles.

Why do longitudes meet at poles?

Longitudes are lines that run north to south on a globe. At the poles, longitudes converge and meet because all lines of longitude, or meridians, come together at a single point. This means that at the poles, there is no east or west direction left to differentiate between, so the longitudes effectively merge together.

In the southern hemisphere do the width of the ocean increase or decreses from the equator to the pole.?

The width of the ocean generally increases from the equator towards the poles in the southern hemisphere. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid, which causes the circumference to be larger near the poles than at the equator.

How does the weight of a 10 pound bag of rice compare at the equator and at the North Pole?

A 10 pound bag of rice will weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the North Pole due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation. This force is stronger at the equator, which counteracts a fraction of the gravitational force, reducing the weight of objects slightly.

What can you do at the south pole?

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica. Unless you are using a navigational aid such as a GPS or similar, there is a big marker and a sign indicating that you are at the South Pole.

Why do charged particles from outer space like cosmic rays strike Earth more frequently at the poles than at the equator?

Charged particles from outer space are more likely to strike Earth at the poles due to the Earth's magnetic field shaping their paths. The magnetic field lines converge at the magnetic poles, directing charged particles towards these regions. This results in a higher concentration of cosmic ray impacts at the poles compared to the equator.

What is the ship endurance?

The ship Endurance was the vessel used by Sir Ernest Shackleton for an Antarctic expedition in 1914. It became trapped in pack ice and eventually crushed, leading to an epic survival story as Shackleton and his crew abandoned ship and journeyed to safety.

What are the imaginary lines that run from the North pole to the South pole along the surface of the planet?

Well i believe the answer your looking for is the axis.

or it can be parallels of latitude or parallels of longitude or maybe meridians latitude maybe meridians of longitude you pick lol did i say tht

What is the telephone area code for the South Pole?

Since the South Pole does not belong to any country, it does not have any telephone country code. The research bases in or near Antarctica either have telephone numbers within the numbering ranges of their host countries, or use global satellite telephones.

What is the difference between the magnetic poles and the geomagnetic poles?

The Geomagnetic poles (dipole poles) are the intersections of the Earth's surface and the axis of a bar magnet hypothetically placed at the center the Earth by which we approximate the geomagnetic field. There is such a pole in each hemisphere, and the poles are called as "the geomagnetic north pole" and "the geomagnetic south pole", respectively. On the other hand, the magnetic poles are the points at which magnetic needles become vertical. There also are "the magnetic north pole" and "the magnetic south pole". The geomagnetic or magnetic south (north) poles correspond to the N (S) -pole of a magnet.

How many lines of latitude are there when drawn at interval of 1 degree each?

If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.

Why would there generally be a higher salinity near the north and the south poles near the glaciers?

Because of the solidification of the water under low temperatures. The water is "turned" into ice, leaving the salt behind. So the salt is left in the water, with the freshwater turned into ice floating on top.

If the glaciers melt, the salinity will decline, because this new freshwater will dilute the salty waters.

How long is a guy wire that reaches from the top of a 15-ft pole to a point on the ground 10 feet from the bottom of the pole?

The guy wire forms a right triangle with the pole and the ground. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), we can calculate the length of the guy wire. In this case, a = 10 ft, b = 15 ft, so the length of the guy wire (c) is √(10^2 + 15^2) = √(100 + 225) = √325 ≈ 18.03 ft.

What gases are most affecting the animals in the North and South?

This is an odd question, although I suppose that the gases that are most affecting the animals near the Poles contribute indirectly. The gases you are referring to are called greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. They don't so much affect the animals near the poles directly, but more the environment in which these animals live. The greenhouse gases contribute to the melting of ice caps and icebergs which, in turn, does affect polar animals like penguins and polar bears.

Why does water at the north and south poles tend to sink to the sea floor?

Interestingly put, this question. It makes one feel that water in other parts of the world does not sink to the bottom, so there must be a gap above the sea floor! Maybe you mean why does the ice float to the top? Because it's lighter, that's why.

North Pole tilted toward the sun at which time?

The North Pole tilts towards the sun during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year. This tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to experience longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures during this time.
