Polar Circles
In addition to the Equator, there are two other
special lines of latitude: the polar circles. On
your globe, they are shown as dotted lines
Oceans and Continents
Our Earth is very old. It was created about 4.6
billion years ago along with the rest of the
Solar System. The Earth is also sometimes
called “the blue planet” because it appears to
shine with a blue color from space. The reason
for that is that, unlike the other planets, ours is
covered with oceans. But the Earth did not
always look like this. Shortly after its
formation, it was covered by nothing but
molten rock. The oceans only appeared later.
On your globe, you will see six large land
masses: Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia,
Australia, and Europe. These land masses are
called continents, and they are always in
motion. They move very slowly across our
globe. A long time ago — about 250 million
years ago — all the land was in one piece. In
other words, there was only one single giant
continent. It is called Pangaea.
Supercontinent Pangaea
Where do polar bears live?
How do you think the Earth will change in the
next 250 million years?
running all the way around the two poles.
There is one in the north (the Arctic Circle) and
one in the south (the Antarctic Circle).
Above the Arctic Circle, there is hardly any sun
in the winter. The farther north you go, the more
days there are when the sun doesn’t shine at all.
At the North Pole itself, there are six months of
uninterrupted darkness. Can you imagine that?
On the other hand, in summer the sun doesn’t
set at all and it stays light all night long there.
Near the South Pole, it’s exactly the opposite.
