Why did ancient egyptians travel north to south than to travel east to west?

The ancient Egyptians traveled north to south along the Nile River because the river's current flows from south to north. This made it easier for them to navigate and transport goods. Traveling east to west was more difficult due to the harsh desert landscape, which made it harder to travel and limited the availability of resources.

What time is it in Japan right now?

I can't tell you what time it is right now, because this question might be a year old or two hours old, so what I can tell you is if you live in Florida, it is Friday, 3:30 PM, and in Japan, it's Saturday, 4:30 AM. A way you can find out what time it is in Japan compared to your time is by finding out your time right now. Let's use California as an example. Say you live in California, then it is currently 12:30PM. So, if I live in Florida and you live in California, subtract both times. There is a three hour difference. If there is a three hour difference between Florida and California, and there is a day and an hour difference between Florida and Japan, then add three hours to the time that it is from Florida to Japan because you want to know what time it is from California to Japan, and if it is a three hour difference between California and Florida and there is a day and an hour difference Florida and Japan, then add up what time it is from Florida and California plus what time it if from Florida to Japan. So, if you use this pattern, I think you can find the time it is in Japan right now. I just used California as an example, but if you live in Colorado let's say, and you want to see what time difference you have with Japan, then switch the California with the Colorado, and switch the three hour difference to a two hour difference, and so on. Japan uses JST. I used Google to find what time it is currently in Japan! You could use it too to find the answer to your question (:

Hope I helped!

What is the name of strong Antarctic winds?

Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent.

Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -60 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -28 degrees Celsius in the warmer months.

The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer.

The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air.

Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain.

Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph.

Why was Antarctica the last continent to be explored?

Antarctica was the last continent to be explored because to travel there is hard

Human exploration is always limited by transportation. When people began exploring the earth's waters in ships, it was clear that polar waters were ultimately not navigable, given that errant icebergs could destroy a ship. This was too high a price to pay.

Until ships' hulls were reinforced to withstand a collision with an iceberg, nothing was known about the area of the Southern Ocean. Since this is the location of Antarctica, it was the last continent to be discovered.

How many antarcticas are there?

Antarctica, the fifth largest continent on earth is covered -- 98% of it -- by an ice sheet. As gravity pulls the ice that flows off glaciers and ice tongues form in open sea water, the wave action breaks off the tongue and the ice floats away as an iceberg. This action takes tens of thousands of years.

The numbers of icebergs are innumerable: icebergs vary in mass from the size of a sedan to the size of New York's Manhattan Island. They float in the Southern Ocean and do not qualify as icebergs until they are wholly contained in sea water.

What are the Advantages of going to Antarctica?

Antartica is good for tourism and visiting the vast area. Many people benefit from visiting antartica such as cruise liners as many people want to visit the stunning sight.

What is the land mass of the Arctic Region?

The Queen Elizabeth Islands (extreme Northern Canada) are the closest. Part of Greenland is even closer, but Greenland itself is largely an ice floe in it's northern area, and you did say "land mass".

Which plant is farthest from earth?

Planet furthest from earth? Neptune, since Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

But, if you do consider Pluto a planet, then normally, the furthest planet from Earth is Pluto, but sometimes it is Neptune. (Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's).

What are the lines of latitude that are labeled south?

Any latitude markers that are printed on any map or globe and are between

the equator and the south pole must be labeled as "South" latitudes.

Why is the equator hot and the north and south poles not?

The equator is an imaginary line that runs around the middle section of the earth. It is hotter there than at the north and south poles because the tilt of the earth on its axis causes the equatorial region to receive more direct sun rays than the poles.

If you have signed a six month lease can the landlord want to move back into the house after one month?

The landlord can only seek possession during a fixed term of a tenancy (for example the first six months of a shorthold tenancy) on the grounds shown in italic type.

Why is it warmer near the equator than near the poles-?

The angle at which the suns rays hit the earth is more nearly perpendicular, therefore more energy is delivered per unit area. Secondly the rays pass through much less atmosphere so less energy is absorbed by the atmosphere.

How cold does a polar desert get in the winter?

In winter temperatures at the North Pole can range from about −43 °C (−45 °F) to −26 °C (−15 °F), perhaps averaging around −34 °C (−30 °F).

Summer temperatures can average around the freezing point (0 °C, 32 °F).

Is Nunavut located by the North Pole?

The North Pole is a point in the Arctic Ocean. Canadian territory extends to the North Pole.

Under International Law, no country currently owns the North Pole or the region of the Arctic Ocean surrounding it. Each of the five surrounding Arctic nations are allowed a 200 nautical mile (370 km, 230 mile) EEZ around their coast, but the area beyond that is controlled by the International Seabed Authority.

What are the Geographical poles on the earth?

The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. 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.

Who was the first person to land in America?

The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there.

What is the full name of Captain Lawrence the explorer who died in 1912 on his way back fron the north pole?

Captain Lawrence Edward Grace Oates, a British explorer, was a member of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912. He died during the return journey from the pole, famously saying "I am just going outside and may be some time" before walking into a blizzard to sacrifice himself for the rest of the team.

What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?

In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.

How many times each year does the sun rise and set at the south pole?

As seen from the south pole, the sun rises once, around September 21,

and sets once, around March 21, each year.

Does the South Pole get dark?

The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from 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.
