Can you go uphill from the north pole?
Answers:
YES. your geographical location, North Pole in this case, has nothing to do with elevation (uphill/downhill). So, theoretically you could stand on the north pole and walk up an adjacent hill. Your question is too easy to require a lot of knowledge to answer, yet at the same time it's too thought provoking to be considered a joke or just stupid question.
Nope it's all downhill from there.
The north pole is not uphill or downhill. it's a geographical point on the Earth's surface which bears no relationship to its altitude - it could just as easily be in a valley surrounded by high mountains as on the top of a hill. Conversely the South Pole is not the lowest point on the Earth's surface.
The Earth's surface (usually ice) at the North Pole is usually only a few feet from sea level therefore if a major chunk of ice was nearby then you would be able to go "uphill" from the North Pole.
The South Pole is at an altitude of around 9,300 feet at the surface of the ice so if you walked from the North Pole to the South Pole overall you would be climbing about 9,300 feet.
No, you would be going downhill.
Yep. did it last week. a bit cold though
YES, you just climb the pole.
Up has nothing to do with north. We just say north is up on a map so all maps hang in the same direction to avoid confusion.
Yes, because the earth is tilted on its axis
silly question but interesting at the same time. I don't think you have to go uphill just to reach the north pole
Technically yes..here's why:
There are two North Poles: the geographical and the magnetic North Pole.
The geographical pole is the point at 90° northern latitude. It is very near to the point at which the rotation axis of the earth passes through the surface. This is the North Pole that is shown on most maps.
The magnetic pole is the point were the magnetic field lines are vertical and enter the earth. This pole wanders around and is currently somewhere off Western Greenland at about 77°N 102°W (see http://sarbc.org/north5b.html)..
A magnetic compass needle will always try to align itself with the magnetic field lines. When you are far away from a pole the field lines are nearly parallel to the earth's surface and the compass will point towards the magnetic pole. When you get near the pole the field is stronger and its lines are directed into the earths surface. Therefore the needle is pulled down vertically. If you tilt the compass slightly forward the needle is pulled forward and you think North is ahead. If you then tilt the compass backwards, the needle is pulled around to the back and you think North is behind you. Near the North and South magnetic poles compasses are useless.
**So kinda you can continue to go uphill if you are at the magnetic north pole since it wanders.
Yes, providing there is a hill to go up. Direction is different from topography; just because you can't go any further north, doesn't mean you can't asend a localized geographical elevation in the planet surface.
No matter which direction you travel from the north pole you are always going south
Of course. Uphill or downhill has nothing to do with North or South! :-)=
