why antarctica has a c in the middle?

Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere\n\nArctic comes from from the Latin word arcticus, which means "from the north". Anti is directly from Latin, which means opposite. \n\nAnti + Arctic = from the opposite of the north or, in other words from the south

Latitude is used to measure how far north or south a location is, based on its distance from the equator, which is the imaginary line (or circle) that runs around the earth, equally distant from the north and the south poles. (The Equator gets its name from being EQUAL distance apart from the poles). \n\nFrom the Equator to the north pole, the distance is broken into 90 degrees of measurement, and likewise, from the Equator to the South Pole.\n\nWhile the Equator and other "lines of latitude" help measure  north-south location, the lines themselves extend in the east-west direction as they represent every point on the earth that is that distance from the equator. These lines are often called PARALLELS, because they are all parallel to the equator. You can have a parallel at any measure of latitude, such as the 10 degrees north parallel or the 42 degrees south parallel. \n\nSome parallels have special names. Besides the Equator, there are four parallels which have significance for the earth's rotation and seasons. In the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Cancer is the line or circle of latitude that is 23.5 degrees north, and the Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north. In the southern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south, and the Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south. Because the earth's axis is at an angle to the sun, we have seasons, and these lines show where the sun's location will be or not be on particular seasonal changes. Use the first link to learn more about these lines.\n\nOther parallels have historical significance. When the Korean War ended in a stalemate, the country was divided into North and South Korea roughly along the 38th parallel (that means everything north of the 38 degrees north parallel belonged to North Korea, and everything south of  that parallel belonged to South Korea). In the 1800s, the 49th parallel (north) is what was used to determine the boundary between the United States and the British colony of Canada, west of the Great Lakes, and so most of the current US-Canada border is a line along the 49th parallel.\n\nAll lines (or circles) of latitude can be called parallels.

Well, the "h" in your question is wrong - it should be an "e".\nGo check that word in your crossword.\nThe answer you are looking for is \n"Subcontinent".

The earth is on an axis so the sun doesnt cover the northern and southern regions as well ........i meant the polar regions in this statement

The difference comes because of the tilt of our planet in space. Our planet is leaned to one side on her orbit around the Sun and around her central os. So, one of the poles (in this case the north pole) is farther away from the Sun, than is the south pole. And so is with all the areas inbetween on both sides of the equator.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Earth%2Bwobble

I think its the Antarctic

Polar bears are endemic to the northern polar region for the same reason as elephants are indigenous to Africa and Asia. They just didn't migrate to the areas around what became Antarctica when they had the chance.

The North Pole is constitued of ice, unlike the South Pole, there is no land mass underneath the ice.  Global warming causes the ice sheets to melt and break apart.  If a polar bear is on one of these ice sheets that breaks up it has to swim back to a larger, more substantial area to live.  But what is happening is that the bears are drowning before they can reach another ice sheet.

Australia.\nIt marked the beginning of British settlement.\n(That, or it's circling Ceti Alpha V.  VERY inside joke.)

Here are some cool facts...\n\n~Antarctica is actually a desert, receiving about the same precipitation (less than 2 inches a year), as the Sahara Desert. \n\n~Dogs have been banned from Antarctica to protect the seal population. \n\n~If Antarctica were to melt, the sea level would rise over 200 feet. \n\nHere are some links that have more...

The Arctic and Antarctic are literally poles apart. While they share some characteristics, such as high latitude, cold and remoteness, they also exhibit significant differences. The Arctic is dominated by a large deep central ocean surrounded by land masses. The Antarctic is a large, partially ice-covered land mass surrounded by ocean. \n\nEnvironmental Differences: \nThe Arctic has trees but Antarctic does not\nAntarctica is a continent land mass but the Arctic is a sea with edges of other countries in the Arctic circle.. \nThe Arctic has indigenous people and the Antarctic doesn't. \nThe Arctic has tundra but not the Antarctic\n\nWeather differences: \nAntarctic has strong winds but the Arctic has mild winds. \nAntarctica is colder and windier than the Arctic\n\nAnimal and Plant Life differences: \nThe Arctic has polar bears and the Antarctic does not. \nThe Antarctic has penguins and the Arctic doesn't. \nThe Antarctic has no trees. \nThe Arctic has Tundra with rich plant life in Spring and Summer. \nAntarctic has algae but not the Arctic. \nAntarctica has mainly calm animals but the Arctic has some fierce ones\n\n\nHuman Activity Differences: \nThe Arctic has Eskimos and Antarctica does not. \nThe Arctic has igloos and Antarctica does not. \nLong ago, Laps and Eskimos used the northern polar region but nobody lived in the southern polar region. \nThere are towns in the Arctic but not in Antarctica - just research bases. \nAntarctica wasn`t found for a long time when the Arctic was already found. \nWhen the sea is free from the ice in summer in the Arctic the hunter goes after seals.

Nice try..! But there are no polar bears at the South Pole or in all of Antarctica. Try again, dude.

The south pole has a manned base and in the middle of a wide-open flat area.  The north pole is somewhere in a huge conglomerate of unstable icebergs, is constantly shifting, and has no operations base.
