Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: The closest to 90N latitude is the Arctic Ocean, while the closest to 90S latitude is the Southern Ocean

Explanation:

Latitude is the measurement of distance from the Equator to the north and the south of the Earth. Consists of 180 imaginary lines, paralell to the Equator, forming circles surrounding the Earth; 90 lines are located above the Equator, which constitutes the North and 90 are located below the Equator, which represents the South.

The North Pole is located at 90N degrees, and is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, while the South Pole is located  at 90S degrees and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
