We know that a compass points northward because Earth is a giant magnet. Does the northward-pointing needle point northward when

the compass is brought to the Southern Hemisphere?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A compass needle always points in the north direction because the north pole of the magnet attracts the earth's magnetic north pole due to the presence of the earth's magnetic field. Earth itself is considered to be a large magnet. Due to this reason, every magnet used in the earth usually rests in the direction of the north pole.

It is a device that is used for the purpose of navigation but it does not always point towards the true north. The earth's magnetic north pole and the earth's geographical north pole are not the same. They are both different.

Thus, the compass having the needle pointing in the northward direction always points towards the north even if it is used in the southern hemisphere.

Answer:

Panthalassic Ocean

Explanation:

During the time at which the last super-continent Pangaea existed, there was an enormous ocean as well. This ocean was stretching from one side of Pangaea to the other side of it, circling the rest of the planet that was not covered with land. The name that was given to this ocean is the Panthalassic Ocean. It has to be mentioned though that it was not the only ocean during this time though, as there were two other much smaller oceans, the Paleo Tethys Ocean and the Tethys Ocean, both being located between the land masses that later gave birth to Eurasia and Australia. Because of the size of the Panthalassic Ocean it was capable of producing much stronger storms and waves that the human kind had ever witnessed, and it is certain that those storms and waves were doing enormous damage along the coastline of Pangaea.
