Longitude, longitudinal

As opposed to latitude (horizontal lines circling the earth.

The country that experiences a period of six months of continuous darkness during winter is Antarctica. This phenomenon occurs at the South Pole due to its location within the Antarctic Circle, where the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period of time.

The sun is north of the equator for 6 months every year, and south of the equator during

the other 6 months.

In order to accomplish these gyrations, it crosses the equator twice a year ... on March 21

moving north, and on September 22 moving south.

No, the bedrock at the South Pole is not at or below sea level. The South Pole sits on the Antarctic Plateau, which is a high, flat, and elevated region with an average height of 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level. The bedrock beneath the ice is also above sea level.

Some resources that would be scarce at the South Pole include fresh food and produce, as it is difficult to grow crops or maintain traditional agriculture in such extreme conditions. Additionally, access to medical supplies and healthcare facilities may be limited due to the remote location. Finally, fresh water sources may be limited or require extensive treatment due to the frozen environment.

Very few organisms are found at the south pole due to the extreme cold temperatures, lack of sunlight for most of the year, and limited availability of food sources. The harsh conditions make it difficult for plants and animals to survive in this region.

The most common animals found in the South Pole are penguins, such as the emperor penguin and Adelie penguin. Other animals that inhabit the region include seals, such as the Weddell seal and fur seal, as well as various species of birds like skuas and Snow petrels.

The south pole experiences a phenomenon called polar night, during which there is continuous darkness for about six months. This means that the south pole experiences no sunlight for roughly half of the year.

The South Pole provides a range of scientific research opportunities, particularly in fields such as astronomy, glaciology, and climate studies. It also serves as a destination for tourism and adventure activities, attracting visitors who are interested in exploring one of the most extreme and remote places on Earth. Additionally, the South Pole holds symbolic value as the southernmost point on the planet, representing a significant achievement and milestone for explorers.

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.

Distance from San Francisco, CA to Brisbane, Australia

Miles: 7077.16

Kilometers: 11389.28

Distance from Athens, Greece to Perth, Australia

Miles: 9470.18

Kilometers: 15240.36

So America is closer.

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!

Thank you,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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. Mandatory grounds - for which the landlord must have advised the tenant in writing before the tenancy began that s/he might be seeking possession: * Your landlord used to live in the house and wants it back (at least two months notice must be given) * The house has been repossessed and the mortgage company need to sell the house with vacant possession (at least two months notice must be given) * Your house is needed for a minister of religion and you were given notice of this when you moved in (at least two months notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than eight months and within a year before you moved in the house was let as a holiday home (at least two weeks notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than 12 months and within a year of moving in the house was let to students by the place where they were studying and you were given written notice of this before you moved in (at least two weeks notice must be given).

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.

Use north, east, south and west...

North.

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).
