How many places on Earth can one travel one mile south one mile west then one mile north and have returned to the point of origin?
Two; the north and south poles. Because a compass will always point you in the direction of the poles due to their magnetic emission, if you start exactly at the north pole and travel due south one mile and due west one more mile, your compass will point you directly back to the pole, which you will be exactly one mile away from, and likewise for the south pole.
When discussing the Earth's magnetic field we could say that the Earth has a?
When discussing the Earth's magnetic field, we could say that the Earth has a geomagnetic north pole. The magnetic field changes every several hundred thousand years and thus the north and south magnetic poles swap places.
Are there more than 180 degrees longitude?
If you travel all the way around the earth without touching the north or south pole, then you travel through 360 degrees of longitude. They're labeled (zero -- 180) east and (zero -- 180) west.
How can you travel 3 miles south and then 3 miles east and then 3 miles north and be at your starting place?
