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 would happen to the north and south pole if the earth stopped tilting on it's access?

If the Earth's tilt was suddenly corrected, the North and South Poles would experience more consistent sunlight and temperatures throughout the year. This would disrupt the climate patterns in those regions and likely lead to significant changes in weather, ice coverage, and ecosystems.

It is a continent at the south pole were penguins live?

Yes, the South Pole is on the continent of Antarctica. Note, however, that penguins are sea birds and make their homes in ocean waters. They breed, however, on Antarctica's beaches, because there are no land predators there.

When did the south pole and north pole last switch?

The last magnetic pole reversal, when the north and south magnetic poles switched places, occurred about 780,000 years ago. This is based on geological evidence and the study of magnetic patterns in rocks and sediments.

Why people in the south pole don't feel they are standing upside down?

Because gravity doesn't pull youdown, it pulls you towards the earth.

if you walked a long way down your street (a VERY long way, to the other end of your country.) would you suddenly be walking diagonally? or on your thighs? no. because you are not being pulled towards the bottom of the earth, but to the center. it's quite hard to explain to someone who doesn't already know. We (yes, we,I'm Australian) don't feel upside-down because as you come to our side of the world, the direction your feet face rotates so that your feet always face the center of the earth.

And in fact, you did make up the north is up and south is down, because whoever said north was up? you could draw a map with south on top of the map and it would be just as accurate.

What is the degree latitude of the south pole?

As of 2005, it was calculated to lie at 64°31′48″S 137°51′36″E, just off the coast of Wilkes Land, Antarctica. That point lies outside the Antarctic Circle. It is moving northwest by around 10 to 15 Kms per year.

So as to where it exactly is now, (March 2010), is anyone's guess.

Perhaps the producers of those awful reality programmes, could come up with another one, 'Find The North and South Magnetic Poles', that would keep a bunch of has beens and wannabes quiet for a long time.

What does Antarctic have and not the Arctic?

Antarctica has a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean, while the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land masses. Antarctica is a single landmass covered in ice, whereas the Arctic is an ocean covered by sea ice with various land masses surrounding it.

With each line of latitude you cross moving from the north pole you get nearer the?

If you are moving away from the North Pole and crossing lines of Latitude, you are heading for the Equator, and ultimately the South Pole.

How far is South Pole from Hobart?

Measured in miles, and in a direct line, the number you want is 2,440.

Every 30 meters there is one pole how many poles in a mile?

There would be 48 poles in a mile because 1 mile is equal to 1609.34 meters and 1609.34 divided by 30 is approximately 53.6, but since only whole poles are counted, there would be 48 poles.

When is the best time to go to Antarctica and why?

The best time to visit Antarctica as a tourist, is the period when tourists can access the continent. The Southern Ocean sea ice freezes between about February and October, making landfall impossible. The frozen sea ice joins the continental ice sheet during this period.

Does the Earth have more than two magnetic poles?

The Earth has two main magnetic poles, the North Pole and the South Pole, where the magnetic field lines converge. However, there are also localized areas where the magnetic field is strong, leading to additional poles known as magnetic anomalies.

What is true of Earth's poles?

Earth has two poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica, while the North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean. The Earth's geographic poles are the points where its axis of rotation meets its surface.

In which direction should you set off to get from the South Geographic Pole to the South Magnetic Pole?

From the south pole there's only one direction available: north. As soon as you take one step from the south pole, you can either continue going north or go east or west; in the last cases you will make very narrow circles.


Why are there 6 months of light and six months of darkness at the north and south poles but not at the equator?

The planet Earth orbits the sun, and also rotates on its axis; the axis of rotation is at a 29 degree angle to the plane of the orbit, hence, it is the poles which tilt either toward or away from the sun for half the year, depending upon the position of the Earth's orbit (that is, the season) whereas the equatorial regions, although they are also at an angle, because they are in the middle region of the planet, never tilt far enough to be outside the range of sunlight during the daytime.

How many mile between south and north pole?

20,013.8 KM There are 20,013.8 Kilometers (12,436 miles)between the North and South pole.

What countries near the north pole?

Countries near the North Pole include Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States (Alaska). These countries have territories or land closest to the North Pole and experience the arctic climate associated with polar regions.

How far has the magnetic north pole moved since 1831?

The magnetic north pole has moved approximately 1,400 miles (2,250 kilometers) since 1831. It is currently drifting at a faster rate towards Russia from the Canadian Arctic.

What is the superior pole?

The superior pole refers to the top portion of an anatomical structure, such as the superior pole of the kidney or spleen. It is the part located highest or closest to the head in the body.

Who invented south pole?

Nobody owns the North Pole. It is in International Waters.

What is the imaginary line that connects the north pole to the south pole at the surface of the planet?

The imaginary line that connects the North Pole to the South Pole at the surface of the planet is called the Earth's axis. It is an imaginary line around which the Earth rotates.

What is Pole discrepancy protection?

Pole discrepancy protection is a relay protection scheme used in power systems to detect discrepancies in the operating characteristics of protection relays during a fault condition. It helps to identify instances where different protection relays connected to the same power system asset (such as a transformer or line) are not tripping in coordination, which can cause delays or maloperation in fault clearing. The protection scheme typically involves measuring the time delay and coordination of the relays to ensure proper operation.

How many years did Byrd explore Antarctica?

Admiral Richard Byrd explored Antarctica for over 30 years, from his first expedition in 1928 to his final expedition in 1956.

What rhythms with pole?
