One answer is the equator. It is true to say that you end up on the equator again if you started there. You actually would be on the equator, but you would be 1 mile west of your origonal location on the equator. You ended up where you started - sorta. There are other ideas, however. Let's look. There are two correct answers. One is the North Pole. "North and South" are not "up and down," it is moving toward the respective pole. Therefore, traveling one mile south of the North Pole, traveling any distance west or east, then one mile north, would put you back at the North Pole. The other, less common answer, is that there are an infinite number of places on the Earth, where you would end up at the starting location if you were to travel one mile south, west, then north. And that is anywhere 1.159 miles north of the South Pole. You would travel south for one mile, putting you at .159 miles north of the South Pole. Then traveling one mile west would cause you to make a complete circle around the South Pole, ending where the westward mile started. Then travel one mile north and that would put you back at your original starting point.

If you walked one mile south one mile west and then one mile north and ended where would you be relative to where you began?
If you started 1/2 mile north of the equator you'd end up a mile west of where you began. Or, put another way, your starting point would lie one mile to the east of your end point. If you started on the north or south pole you'd end up where you started. Or if you started 1.159 miles north of the South Pole. The first mile south would put you .159 miles north of the South Pole; the mile west would encircle the pole, putting you back at the beginning of the westward mile; then go north 1 mile to return to your starting position.

If you walked one mile south one mile westand then one mile northand ended up where you started where would you be?
There are an infinite number of places you could be. The usual answer to this question is that you are at the North Pole. When you walk south you are one mile away from the pole. Then when you walk west you are walking in an arc around the pole. Then when you walk north you are back at the North Pole. However, you could also be in a number of places near the South Pole. From the North Pole answer we see that when we walk west that we are walking in an arc relative to the pole. If we continue to walk west, we will eventually end up back at place where we started walking west, after we have walked a complete circle. Now consider that near the South Pole we can trace a circle that has a circumference of 1 mile. Once you have defined that circle, then we can start our journey at any of the "infinite" points that are 1 mile north of that circle. In this case we would walk south 1 mile, then walk west one mile, exactly circling the South Pole, and finally walk north 1 mile, returning to where we started.

What part did the North have in the civil war if the south was defensive war tactics.?
The North started the war and the south mearly wished to succeed from the union and had no wish of war and no there were other reasons the south wished to succeed and Lincoln was not truthful yes he ended slavery but, he also lied to the south and the north by telling them what they wanted and yes we the south shot first but, the north started it and most of the slave owners did not wish to succed.I believe the war started because we only wished to redeam ourselfes because everyone was sterotyping the south and most of what you have read and heard is not neseasarely the truth.So,take my word for it and check it out this website called http://ourworld.cs.com/mikegriffith1/southernsidecondensed.htm peace.
