Let’s Begin…
How can you tell the two poles apart? Where are the penguins? What about the bears? The Arctic pole is located in the Northern Hemisphere within the deep Arctic Ocean, while the Antarctic pole is smack in the middle of the ice-covered Antarctica. Camille Seaman describes how enterprising people and organisms have found ways to reside around both poles despite the frigid temperatures.

I thought the arctic was colder than the antarctic and no one lived in the arctic.
I thought that polar bears lived in the South and penguins liver in the n\North.
i thought that there is human residence in the Antarctica
Well you are wrong
Some misconceptions I had about the North and South poles were that I thought penguins and polar bears both lived in the North and South poles. But one thing I THINK I am right about is that Artic Wolfs live in the North pole instead of the South Pole. Another thing I didn't know is that when the Earth is farthest from the sun, The North party of the Earth gets warmed up by the Sun's rays while the South pole is experiencing Winter which doubles how cold the South Pole can get. The North Pole is around 40 degrees Celcius and the South Pole is around 80 degrees Celcius.
this was a good lesson that this is teaching me that i didnt know
Some misconceptions I had about the poles was that I thought that the north pole was bigger than the south pole.I also,thought that penguins lived(different kinds)in both the poles.
A misconception I had was that there was polar bears and penguins on both antarctica and the arctic.
Some misconceptions I had about the poles is that I thought polar bears also lived in the south pole. I also thought that the Arctic was a solid region. Lastly, I thought that you can live in Antarctica.
i learn that Antarctica colder than northern cousin and i learn that the arctic region consist of a vast and antarctica is earth southernmost continent.
There was few misconceptions about the poles because how did they know and found out and why?
I always thought that the arctic was colder than the South and I also thought that the North was much bigger than the South
I thought that the arctic was colder than the antarctic, also i got confused about the animals like were they belonged.
Some misconceptions I had about the poles was that when the Earth is farther away from the sun it is winter in the Antarctic so it causes it to be much more colder. I also learned that both poles are a contribution to our planet not just one pole.
I thought the north pole was the coldest but it is instead south pole.
A misconceptions that i had were that i thought that the north pole was bigger than the south pole something else is that i thought that both polar bears and penguins lived i both the north pole and south pole.
south pole has polar bears and north has penuins
Something that I learned that I didn't know before was that the artic had a sea ice which is 13,000 feet or height.I mean I knew it was cold but I didnt think it would be in this harsh conditions
I thought that that the north pole was colder and the south pole was warmer and I also thought both poles had penguins and polar bears.
Well I thought that pinguens and polar dear live to geather also that the north was colder then the south was hot also I thought that polar bears lived in the South and penguins live in the North I thought that there is human residence in the Antarctica.
A misconception about this lesson was that the animals were on different sides so were the places and the size was different. I also thought that the heat would be less colder but it was more heat/temp. on both poles
I always thought that both the north and south poles had polar bears and penguins, until now.
I thought that both poles were the same because of its cold temperatures.
The aritcle is good and intresting about south and north pole.
I thought the south was colder than the north and no one lived there and my thought was true.
I thought polar bears and penguins both live in the north pole and the south pole. I also did not know that Antartica is twice the are of Australia
There are no penguins at the North pole. I learned that the north pole is surrounded by land. South pole is the 5th largest continent. South pole continent is 3km higher than sea level. The north pole is always moving because its attached to ice floats.
I thought both the north and south poles had both penguins and polar bears.
i thought it was all freezing cold to be honest
I thought that the North Pole and South Pole both had polar bears and penguins.
