South Pole

The circumference of the pole sticking out of the ice to make this spot is about 30 cm. The circumference or coastline of the land mass of Antarctica, the continent upon which this pole, is about 18,000 km.

There are seven continents in the world. Among the seven, Antarctica is on the southernmost of the Earth and it includes the South Pole.

There is no one country that owns Antarctica and no permanent human settlers or any evidence of and existing or pre-historic indigenous population. In 1961 a treaty was established on the ownership of Antarctica. 45 countries (¾ of the world population) have signed the treaty to agree on the claims and the treatment of Antarctica. This treaty is one of the only international 20th century agreements to have succeeded. The Antarctic treaty bans all military activity. Every decision that the treaty makes is made by consensus so that there are no disagreements and arguments. In the 1980's mining companies wanted to search for minerals in Antarctica. Some environmental groups such as green peace campaigned that mining should be banned forever in Antarctica. At first the treaty could not come to a decision, but eventually they agreed to put in place a new protocol on environment protection in 1998. The rules of the protocol are that wildlife and habitats must be conserved and pollution controlled. There are seven countries that have made claims: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, and the UK, though Australia has the biggest claim. Russia and the USA have tried to make claims but they have not yet been accepted.

South Africa's human features include a diverse population of different ethnic groups, languages, and religions. The country has a rich cultural heritage influenced by its history of colonization and apartheid. Major cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban are centers of commerce, culture, and politics.

The city of Yantai, Shandong, China is roughly halfway around the world from Memphis, TN.

To find the variation from true north, you can use a magnetic compass to determine the magnetic north and then calculate the angle between the magnetic north and the true north. This angle is known as the magnetic declination or variation. Many maps and GPS devices provide information about the current magnetic declination in a specific location.

Penguins live strictly in the South Pole and in parts of South America very close to the South Pole. People say polar bears eat penguins but they can't because polar bears live at the north pole.

You can only travel south from the North Pole.

The best time to transplant cedars in the mid-south region is typically in late fall or early spring when the weather is mild, and the trees are dormant. This allows the cedars to establish their roots before facing the stresses of summer heat or winter cold. Avoid transplanting during the peak of summer or winter to give the cedars the best chance of success.

Antarctica is called the "continent of science" because it serves as a valuable location for conducting various scientific research due to its isolated and pristine environment. Scientists study a wide range of subjects there including climate change, wildlife, geology, and astronomy, leading to numerous important discoveries and insights.

A Silver Grey Dorking rooster typically reaches a weight of around 5-6 pounds at six months old. They are considered a medium-sized breed of chicken, known for their distinctive appearance and good meat quality.

There are eight states that are on or above the 60 degrees north line of latitude.

Yes, Water in the form of the Arctic Ocean.

The South Pole is located in Antarctica and therefore is on a continent. The ground is permanently frozen there with over a mile of ice above the land mass.

The North Pole is conversely NOT on a continent, it actually is not even located on land. The geographic North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and seasonally frozen over.

Approximately 5000 years ago, magnetic north and geographic north were not aligned as they are today. The difference between the two, known as magnetic declination, would have varied depending on the specific location, but it could have been several degrees. This variation is due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field over time.

No, the North Pole is uninhabited. It is located in the Arctic Ocean and covered by drifting sea ice, making it extremely difficult for people to live there. Scientists and researchers may visit temporarily, but there are no permanent residential communities at the North Pole.

The Arctic Ocean, the North Pole, the Arctic Circle.

A Norwegian scientist immigrant to Australia, Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864-1934), became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic when he stepped on to Cape Adare on the 24th of January, 1895. From 1894-95 he devoted his time to exploration of Antarctica. He attempted to reach the South Pole in 1897. During this expedition, he was the first to discover lichen in the Antarctic, and reached a latitude of 78 degrees 5 minutes S.

Q: Which Continet is South Pole from?

A:Antarcttica

Hammersmith and Fulham in London is characterized by both historic and modern architecture, including Victorian terraced houses and contemporary high-rise buildings. The area also features the River Thames running through it, as well as green spaces like Bishops Park and Fulham Palace Gardens. In terms of human features, the borough is known for its diverse population, vibrant arts scene, and bustling shopping areas such as King Street and Fulham Road.

Uranus and Neptune are the two jovian planets with magnetic field tilts that are not aligned with their rotation poles. Uranus' magnetic field is tilted by 59 degrees, while Neptune's magnetic field is tilted by 47 degrees.

During December, the South Pole experiences extremely cold temperatures, typically ranging from -20°F to -40°F (-29°C to -40°C). However, temperatures can drop even lower, sometimes reaching -60°F (-51°C) or colder due to the extreme conditions of the polar region.

The Arctic region contains more land than the Antarctic region. The Arctic region is made up of the Arctic Ocean surrounded by various countries like Canada, Russia, and Greenland. In contrast, the Antarctic region is a continent covered by ice that is located at the South Pole.

The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by sea ice, so there is no land directly underneath it. In contrast, the South Pole is situated on the continent of Antarctica, which is a landmass covered by ice sheets that are kilometers thick.
