Where Does North Pole Belong On A Map What Continent Does The North Pole Belong?

What continent does the north pole belong? - where does north pole belong on a map

Or is it just marked on the map, because it can dissolve in the north and south poles of the world?

I know that the North Pole is completely surrounded by water.

Any ideas would help!

This is an interesting question, so I looked up. That's what I found:

"In 1925, on the principle sector, Canada became the first country to extend its boundaries north to the North Pole, at least on paper, between 60 ° W and 141 ° west longitude, a claim is not universally accepted. Furthermore, Canada claims the water between the Arctic Islands as internal waters. 's assertion is not from the United States, which owns the Northwest Passage West is detected, a international waterway, despite their limited use for shipping. Denmark (Greenland), Russia and Norway, similar statements including to the United States and the European Union.

Otherwise, until 1999, the North Pole and Arctic Ocean generally considered international territory. But as the polar ice began to fall faster than expected (see) global warming, some countries have begun to recover or enforce the existing claims-the-shelf waters or seabed. Russia has its first application in 2001, claiming Lomonosov Ridge, a andMountain Ridge are waiting at the bar, as a natural extension of Siberia. This claim was contested by Norway, Canada, USA and Denmark in 2004. The Danish autonomous province of Greenland has the nearest coast of the North Pole, and Denmark is the mobilization of the Lomonosov Ridge is actually an extension of Greenland.

The potential value of the North Pole and its surroundings, is not in the market, but the possibility of lucrative oil and gas reserves lie beneath the seabed. These reserves are known in the Beaufort Sea there, and the exploration of the other in the Arctic could be possible if global warming to the Northwest Passage opens up a regular channel of international shipping and trade, especially if Canada is not in a position to assert their rights there. "

Yay!

Im not so sure, is not part of the continent like an ocean alone, because it's land mass of the Irish Sea and English Channel will be part of Europe and some of the sea ice of Alaska, yes, but l Alaska is a part of the North Sea and South America, the North Pole claimed by several countries, and I think that North America had a right, or rather of Alaska, the largest party is united by year PROBATION and North America. Hope this helps.

No continent is a part of the Arctic Ocean.

North Pole is not a continent because it is made of ice, no floor.

a continent is a country not a place filled with ice.

But the South Pole is a continent on the ice, because the ground.

that their own continent, where it would land. but is completely made of ice and the former Soviet nuclear submarines and it is only a part of the Arctic Ocean

thats it said...

I do not think its value from all continents, one of the North Pole ice. This is not a "country" persay.

So his thing! =)

North Pole is the ocean.

It is a continent, not because it landed.

The South Pole is a continent of Antarctica, because it really is a land mass. The northern polar region is a layer of ice. There is no dry land, so there is no continent. The North Pole is likely to be designated as an ocean, because the water is just there. But I think there is the ice and makes us believe that the earth has not been identified as an ocean. Maybe someone should ask a geologist this area has been identified as an ocean. In fact, only when all the Arctic Ocean.

The North Pole belongs to no continent, for it is not a storm. This is a good way! We can only say that in a sea, the water, but no continent that is the mass of the earth.

The North Pole is geographically in the Arctic Ocean. Therefore does not belong to any continent.

I recommend that you consult your local library for more information. You can guarantee your free library card and access to books, magazines, DVDs, databases, educational workshops and much more.

I think (and Canada) have the magnetic north pole on our soil, but the true North Pole in the Arctic Ocean (ice could be covered if you are) next to him. This point in the Arctic Ocean is in international waters. Therefore belongs to no one. As the Prime Meridian.

It is not a land mass, so I do not think it is a part of every continent.

idiot detector said...

It is not in any other continent, is in the Arctic!

You mean the geographic North Pole and the magnetic north pole? The north magnetic pole actually on Canadian soil, a part of North America.
Seco but (mostly frozen) land that is closest to the geographic North Pole, also part of Canada, which claims that remain of the sea 200 km from the earth some of the waters of Canada. On this, I take the true North Pole could be in the context of North America.
