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.

What is the difference between a real north and a geographic north on earth?

The real north refers to the direction pointing towards the North Pole, which is the northernmost point on Earth. The geographic north, on the other hand, refers to the North Pole when considering the Earth's rotation and the geographic coordinates on maps. They may not always align perfectly due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field.

What is the Solar inclination at latitude 35 degrees north during winter solstice?

At the time of the winter solstice, the sun is 23.5 degrees south of the equator.

That's 58.5 degrees south of latitude 35 degrees north.

So, depending on your exact observing location on the 35th north parallel, the sun appears somewhere

lower than 58.5 degrees below your zenith, or less than 31.5 degrees above your horizon.

(That's the highest in your sky that it can be, but it can be anywhere lower than that.)

What are the consequences of a shift of the magnetic poles?

While the poles are shifting, the Earth would have no shield against harmful gamma rays,and as a result all life would end.

I think you are getting a little mixed up. Nothing like mass extinction will happen with Magnetic Polar Shift.

Now if you were talking about Geographic Polar Shift, then most probably, because of something catastrophic happening to knock the Earth's Axis of Rotation out of line, would cause mass extinction.

What do geographers call the 0 degree line of longitde?

Geographers call the 0 degree line of longitude the Prime Meridian. This line is designated where the longitude values are defined as 0 degrees, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres. The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, London, UK.

What is the difference between a desert and north and south poles?

Deserts are regions with low precipitation and high temperatures, while the North and South Poles are characterized by extreme cold temperatures and ice cover. Deserts can be hot or cold, but they both lack sufficient moisture for plant growth. The Poles have ice caps that contain around 70% of the world's fresh water and are critical for regulating global climate systems.

What is Elevation above sea level of south pole?

The elevation above sea level at the South Pole is approximately 9,300 feet (2,800 meters).

What is a ashera pole?

Asherah was the goddess of fertility, and thus represented the Babylonian Ishtar in her character as goddess of love and not of war. In one of the cuneiform tablets found at Taanach by Dr. Sellin, and written by one Canaanite sheikh to another shortly before the Israelite invasion of Palestine, reference is made to "the finger of Asherah" from which oracles were derived. The "finger" seems to signify the symbol of the goddess; at any rate it revealed the future by means of a "sign and oracle."

The practice is probably alluded to in Hos_4:12. The existence of numerous symbols in each of which the goddess was believed to be immanent led to the creation of numerous forms of the goddess herself, which, after the analogy of the Ashtaroth, were described collectively as the Asherim.

Is Madison or Wisconsin closer to the Equator or the North Pole?

Wisconsin is closer to the North Pole than the Equator. Madison, the capital city of Wisconsin, is located at a latitude of about 43 degrees North, which places it closer to the North Pole than the Equator.

How many US states are on or above 60 degrees north?

If you bought your map in Indonesia or Australia, then it's printed with south

at the top, and 49 of the 50 United States are completely above 60 degrees

north latitude, and part of the the 50th one is too.

If you bought your map in North America or Europe, then it's printed with north

at the top. In that case, no states are completely above 60 degrees north, and

only part of Alaska is.

What is the place called at which it becomes too cold dry and windy for trees too grow?

The treeline is the point above which trees do not grow on a particular mountain or group of mountains. Many mountains have bare summits, but many have large regions above the treeline where there is only rock, snow, and some plants such as lichens.

If Wisconsin was the south pole where would the north pole be?

The south pole is a single point, with no size, so I have to pick a point in

Wisconsin. Let's say Madison.

If one of the Earth's poles were in downtown Madison, right at the corner of

S Blair St and E Washington Ave, then the other one would be located at 43.079° south latitude

90.621° east longitude. That point is in the Indian Ocean, about 1,570 miles southwest of Perth, Australia,

1,620 miles north of the Antarctic coast, and 3,510 miles south-southeast of

Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Sadly, this kind of question never produces a very interesting answer, because

most of North America 'maps' antipodally into the Indian Ocean.

Name the country nearest to the North Pole?

Greenland is very close, actually touching the North Pole.

Why are satellites going over the north pole useful?

Does the entire state of Tennessee lie south of the 40 degrees north latitude line?

Yes, the latitude of Tennessee is 34°59′N to 36°41′N, which means it is totally south of 40 degrees north latitude.

Is solar power an option in the north pole?

Solar power may not be the most efficient option in the North Pole due to the long periods of darkness during winter. However, during the summer months when the sun is visible for 24 hours a day, solar power can be utilized effectively. To overcome the darkness in winter, other renewable energy sources like wind or geothermal power can be more reliable choices in the North Pole.

What is the name of the snowman that was a north pole beast?

The snowman from "Frozen" is named Olaf, and he was created by Elsa's magical powers in the movie. He is not a north pole beast, but rather a lovable character who dreams of experiencing summer.

What Wisconsin town is halfway between the north pole and equator?

Green Bay, Wisconsin is known as the city "almost halfway" between the north pole and equator. It's not exactly in the middle, but it's close enough to be a popular reference point for this measure of distance.

Is the Mt. Everest colder than the north pole?

Yes, Mt. Everest is generally colder than the North Pole. The North Pole can have milder temperatures due to the presence of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding ice, while Everest's high altitude and thin air make it much colder.

On which continent is the South Pole loacaded?

Well, since the North Pole is located at the "top" of the world, the South Pole is located at the bottom. A continent that is on the bottom is . . .

Antarctica!

Hope that helps! :)

Who where the first people to drive to the north pole?

James May and Jeramey Clarkson (hosts of top gear)

Magnetic North Pole, not Geographic North Pole.

Lines of longitude on earth run from due north to due south are called?

These invisible lines that circle the earth and are vertical or running north to south are longitude or meridian lines. These lines are also perpendicular to lines called latitudes that are parallel to the equator.

What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?

The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.

Is California closer to the north or south pole?

North. Everything north of the Equator is closer to the North Pole.
