There's land under all of earth's water, whether it's frozen or not.

This is true at the South Pole, but not the North Pole.

If you think hard about how oceans work, there is land under them as well

You do realize that the North Pole is in the Artic ocean over 400 miles from land right?


Apparently, he doesn't.

Simple probability. 0.3x0.3=0.09


To calculate odds you have two separate events with 25% probability of each occurring independently. To find the odds of both occurring

25% odds is 1 to 3. Event occurs 1 time to every 3 times it does not occur.

Calculate probability

1/ (1+3)=1/4 probability of each event.

Multiply the probability 1/4 x 1/4 =1/16

Convert probability to odds

1 to 15 odds of both events occurring

Which pole are we even talking about?

There are 6 of them (3 north and 3 south).

Magnetic pole

Geographic pole

Geomagnetic pole

And they are constantly in motion.

As others have said, the (geographic) North Pole is over water. The magnetic poles though, they move all the frick over the place with both currently over (or under) water.

That is the real reason for any weather pattern changes you are seeing.


I might call BS on that one. While the magnetic pole may shift, the earth is still tilted at the same relative angle. Now that angle does wobble at times but you are talking about over thousands and millions of years.

Now the magnetic pole is completely different as that is more relative to shifts deep inside the earth.

He ain't talking about magnetic pole unless it covers his arse for a stupid question.

The North Pole is on ice - over water. No dry land there. Do you own a globe, map, or atlas?

It has something to do with rubidium. Or vanadium. Possibly both? IDK
