DETAILS ABOUT THE NORTH POLE

Added on: 25th Jan 2016

 

IT TAKES SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS FOR

THE POLES TO FLIP AND NO, IT WOULD

MOST ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT END HUMANITY.

VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES WOULD HAVE TO BE

ADJUSTED AND THERE WOULD POSSIBLY BE

LESS SHIELDING FROM HARMFUL SUN RAYS,

MEANING MORE SKIN CANCER. WE WOULD

HAVE PLENTY OF WARNING BEFOREHAND THOUGH

AND IN FACT, THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD IS

ALREADY WEAKENING WHICH IS A SIGN THAT IT MAY

GRADUALLY FLIP IN THE NEXT FEW THOUSAND YEARS.

ALSO, THE CONTINENTS WILL NOT SLAM INTO EACH

OTHER. DON’T LISTEN TO THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS.

It takes several thousand years for the poles to flip and no, it would most almost certainly not end humanity. Various technologies would have to be adjusted and their would possibly be less shielding from harmful sun rays, meaning more skin cancer. We would have plenty of warning beforehand though and in fact, the Earth’s magnetic field is already weakening which is a sign that it may gradually flip in the next few thousand years. Also, the continents will not slam into each other. Don’t listen to the conspiracy theorists.

 

 

BACK TO THE NORTH POLE, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY

KNOW THIS BUT UNLIKE THE SOUTH POLE, THERE IS

NO LAND. IT IS JUST AN OCEAN WITH ICE ON THE SURFACE

Back to the North Pole, you probably already know this but unlike the South Pole, there is no land. It is just an ocean with ice on the surface

 

 

THE ICE IS SEVERAL METRES THICK IN MOST PLACES

The ice is several meters thick in most places

 

 

THE NEAREST LAND IS USUALLY SAID TO BE

KAFFEKLUBBEN ISLAND OFF THE NORTH COAST OF

GREENLAND ABOUT 700KM (430 MILES) AWAY

The nearest land is usually said to be Kaffeklubben Island off the north coast of Greenland about 700km (430 miles) away

 

 

THE NEAREST PERMANENTLY INHABITED PLACE

IS ALERT, CANADA WHICH IS ABOUT 800 KM (500 MILES)

FROM THE POLE

he nearest permanently inhabited place is Alert, Canada which is about 800 km (500 miles) from the pole

 

 

IF YOU ARE STANDING EXACTLY ON THE GEOGRAPHIC

NORTH POLE THEN NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU

MOVE, YOU’LL BE HEADING SOUTH

If you are standing exactly on the Geographic North Pole then no matter which way you move, you’ll be heading south

 

 

30% OF THE WORLD’S OIL RESERVES ARE IN THE

VICINITY OF THE NORTH POLE

30% of the world’s oil reserves are in the vicinity of the North Pole

 

 

ANTARCTICA, ALONG WITH THE SOUTH POLE, IS

SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY

THE HIGHEST CONTINENT. THE NORTH POLE SITS

ON ICE JUST ABOVE SEA LEVEL SO IT ABSORBS THE

WARMTH OF THE OCEAN. IT’S STILL PRETTY COLD

THOUGH AND TEMPERATURES IN SUMMER HOVER

RIGHT AROUND FREEZING.

Antarctica, along with the South Pole, is significantly colder because it is actually the highest continent. The North Pile sits on ice just above sea level so it absorbs the warmth of the ocean. It’s still pretty cold though and temperatures in summer hover right around freezing.
