Is borneo closer to north or south pole?
The coordinates are 1.5 degrees north, 114 degrees east. So it is closer to the North Pole.
What is the distance from the north pole to the south pole through the center of the earth?
well the density beetween the south pole and the north pole is 17254748000 miles between the two ecause that's what i heard from wikipedia check it out.
-Edit (fxz)
The density of the Earth varies per layer. Also, in the crust, there are minerals of differing densities. The inner core is the densest, then the outer core, followed by the other layers. In short, the Earth is densest in the middle and less dense at the outside, and is designed like a gigantic Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Therefore, there is no fixed density for the Earth, although the average density is (5.9742 × 10kg) divided by (1,083,207,317,374km3).
That would yield approximately your result.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True.
The magnetic poles move constantly.
Which bears live in south pole?
No. It's too cold and there is no food on the continent for the bears to eat.
Is Antarctic north pole or south pole?
The South Pole is an imaginary spot on the continent of Antarctica.
You are getting confused by the over use of the terms North and South Poles as regions, when we should be using Arctic for the North, and Antarctic for the South.
Antractic explorer who died 1912 on return leg of an expedition to South Pole?
Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored Antarctica at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.
City closest to the south pole?
The closest "city" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Punta Arenas in Chile. The closest "town" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Ushuaia in Argentina.
Who planted second flag on south pole?
The second flag planted at the South Pole was by the Soviet Union during the 1959 Soviet Antarctic Expedition. The team reached the South Pole on January 17, 1959, and planted their flag alongside the flag left by the original 1911 expedition led by Roald Amundsen.
There is no plant life at the South Pole. The only plant life on Antarctica is around the coastal areas.
There are microscopic single cell plants called phytoplankton that live and multiply in water, and mosses, lichens and algae that can live under the snow and ice.
Does anyone live in the south pole or north pole?
There are no permanent residents at the South Pole, as it is an inhospitable environment with only research station staff staying for temporary periods. At the North Pole, no one lives there as it is located in the Arctic Ocean covered by shifting sea ice.
What line of longitude runs from the North to South pole at 0 degrees?
Technically Yes. Concerning longitude, all of the meridians come together at the poles, so each pole has every longitude, but by convention 0 degrees longitude is used to refer to the north or south poles. So for example, the North pole is typically referred to as at 90°N 0° W and likewise the South pole as 90°S 0° W.
With respect to latitude, the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, and the south pole at 90 degrees south latitude.
How many flags stand in a ring around the south pole?
At the Ceremonial South Pole, there is one national flag for each country that is a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty. The Ceremonial South Pole is a short distance from the Geographic or Terrestrial South Pole. At present there are 46 signatories to the Treaty, 28 Consultative (voting) and 18 acceding (non-voting).
Why is it impossible to catch a cold at the North Pole?
It is a common misconception that it is impossible to catch a cold at the North Pole. The cold temperature does not prevent the transmission of viruses that cause colds. People can still catch a cold at any location, including the North Pole.
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
Ice covers the north and south pole areas but what is the difference between the two areas?
There are many differences between the north and south poles. One difference is,the south pole is colder than the north pole. Another difference is, people live near the north pole and people can not live in the south pole. Another difference is that the south pole has more ice.
What is the latitude zone of an Area near north or south pole?
Very far south. It is cold and so then the latitude will probably be negative. If you thought it would be positive, you are crazy.
What is the hemisphere nearest the south pole?
Each hemisphere has cold winters and hot summers. This is because the seasons are reversed.
E.g: In America (Northern Hemisphere) their Christmas is in winter and is very cold, but in Australia (Southern Hemisphere) their Christmas is in Summer and is very hot.
See even though they happen at the same time they have completely different climates - the seasons are just reversed.
How does a compass know north from south?
A compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. One end of the compass needle is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north pole, which is near the geographical north pole. This alignment allows the compass needle to point north-south accurately.
When is it dark in the south pole?
Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
What is the average of days that a south pole has no sunlight each year?
Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
Is the distance around the equaor the same as the distance from the north pole to the south pole?
No, the distance around the equator is greater than the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is roughly 40,075 kilometers, while the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole (along the meridian) is about 20,009 kilometers.
How many whales are there in the south pole?
It is difficult to determine the exact number of whales in the South Pole due to the vast and remote nature of the region. However, there are various species of whales, including humpback, minke, and blue whales, that are known to inhabit the waters around the South Pole. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these whale populations and their habitats.
How long are the days and nights at the south pole?
Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
Why are the poles called the north and south pole?
The north and south pole are the earth's equivalent of a bar magnet, with a north and south pole. If you hold a bar magnet up, tied to a piece of string, the north pole of the bar magnet will face the earth's north pole. The earth has an inner magnet.
Since the directions, north and south, pre-date the use of a magnetic compass, the compass needle was labeled according to which direction it pointed. The magnetic pole in the north is, in reality, a south magnetic pole since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it. Try not to let that keep you awake tonight.
