And if you keep going there is a hot core and then China on the other side. -- Telamon Ventura, California I thought the antipode of Ventura CA was in the Indian Ocean east of Capetown South Africa Gotta dig straight - hi hi Just FYI Take the latitude of the place you want to find the antipode of and convert it to the opposite hemisphere. For example, we'll use Memphis. Memphis is located at approximately 35° North latitude. The antipode of Memphis will be at 35° South latitude. Then, take the longitude of the place you want to find the antipode of and subtract the longitude from 180. Antipodes are always 180° of longitude away. Memphis is located at approximately 90° West longitude so we take 180-90=90. This new 90° we convert to degrees East and we have our location of Memphis' antipode - 35°S 90°E - in the Indian Ocean far to the west of Australia. -- Caveat Lector (Reader Beware) Help The New Hams Someone Helped You Or did You Forget That ? |
