which is the coolest place of the earth?

Question

which is the coolest place of earth and the hottest place of the earth?

Answer 1

Antarctica is a continent almost entirely covered with ice, with the South Pole at its center. Near the center of Antarctica, summer temperatures don’t normally get above zero. Winter temperatures typically hover around 70 below. The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth, 126.9 degrees below zero, was in Antarctica.

The hottest: El Azizia in Libya recorded a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit (57.8 Celsius) on Sept. 13, 1922 -- the hottest ever measured.

Answer 2

The Coolest Place on Earth-Antarctica.
The hottest place in the world, El Azizia, is a desert, not all deserts are hot..

Answer 3

Antarctica is a special place, no matter how you look at it. It's the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest continent, for starters. (A nice roundup of these facts and much more is in the online journal of Dr. Simon Hart's year at the South Pole.) One way that it's very special is its position, squatting right on the south end of the Earth.

To begin with, the seventh continent is in the middle of its own lithospheric plate, completely isolated from other continents. It was part of Gondwanaland throughout the Paleozoic, stuck together with Africa, South America, Australia, and India. But then during the Jurassic that supercontinent slowly broke up over a hundred million years, until Australia split from it and left Antarctica alone, beginning in the Eocene about 50 million years ago. You can follow the history at the Paleomap Project site.

Ever since that time, the ocean has surrounded it on all sides, turning around it in a great westward current. Antarctica has gotten colder and colder, cooling the rest of the planet along with it. Over the years, it has accumulated a gigantic layer of ice to a height of 3,000 meters. That huge central mound stands up nearly halfway through the atmosphere, so like a bald-headed man with no hat, it loses heat directly to outer space. The cold air that results flows right off the ice cap by gravity, picking up speed as it goes, until the resulting katabatic winds roar off the continent's edge onto the sea.

The cold winds freeze the seawater, building up immense areas of solid pack ice every Antarctic winter. The water left behind is saltier and, because salty water is denser than the rest of the ocean, it sinks and slowly moves northward on the seafloor to the rest of the world.

Throughout most of geologic time, the Earth has had a warmer and more equable climate than today. Large areas of the continents were covered by shallow seas, where the limestones and shales and coal measures we see today were laid down. Antarctica has been keeping the world cool lately, though, and by piling up more and more ice, it has drawn down the level of the sea. I'm grateful for that, because I like dry land.

Antarctica is not really responsible for the ice ages we've been living through for the past few million years, though. For that, you might blame Panama, which rose out of the water about 3 million years ago and cut off the Atlantic from the Pacific Ocean. Now we have a complicated setup, involving Greenland with its ice cap and currents in the north Atlantic Ocean, that seems to switch back and forth between a cold-climate state and a warmer state, where we are today.

There are many places on earth that are plenty hot - record-breaking hot. In fact, there's a good chance on the day this record-breaking temperature was recorded by a meteorological station in El Azizia in 1922 there were other places hundreds of miles away that were even hotter. In all likelihood, this record temperature has been exceeded since then in many places on earth, but we have no official records of the temperatures. It is important to note that when atmospheric temperatures are recorded it is not the surface temperature, where it can sometimes reach 150° F/ 66° C, but rather the air temperature at about 5 feet (1.6 m) above the surface in an enclosed shelter. Of course, it's important that the temperature sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight - the shelter is louvered to permit air flow across the sensor. Most humans don't 'hang out' where some of the hottest tempertatures on earth are regularly experienced so there aren't a lot of meterological stations in these places to reliably record extreme temperatures.

Answer 4

the hottest place of the earth is El azizia,is a desert.and the coolest place is antarctica,

Answer 5

Antartica is coolest place on earth.

Answer 6

the coolest place of the earth is Russia.and the hottest place is south Africa

Answer 7

the poles are thecoolest place on the earth...and the equators are the hottest place...i think u know the report that the ice caps of the poles are melting due to the ozone layer depletion

Answer 8

I would say coldest North Pole or on top of the highest mountain? and the hottest is The equator?

Answer 9

Do you mean by making use of temperature, or by making use of how cool a place is (like how cool a guy or woman is)? in case you mean by making use of temperature, the coldest place in the international could be Antarctica. in case you mean by making use of the different ingredient, i think of twister Alley is the best!!!

Answer 10

Antarctica & Rusia
