It really depends on which meridian I rotate the earth north on as to what
happens to the rest of the world. If I use the Prime/Greenwich meridian, then
Australia and New Zealand head south and become the new Antarctica. While West
Africa and South America head north to become the new Arctic region. I'm still
trying to figure these out.
The Indian meridian shoves Siberia and Asia north to the Arctic, and South
America drops to the Antarctic region.
Trying the International date line meridian. The Arctic area is now a huge ocean
where the Pacific goes north. The Antarctic now has bits of South America and
Africa.
Using the Americas meridian gives the worst result possible. North America
becomes the Arctic region and Australia and Asia go down to Antarctica.
Using Antarctica it has to be remembered that it is a big bit of land.
Jason Davies,
Being a New Zealander I am not sure whether I am happy with my country becoming
part of
the New Antarctica. Oh well, sacrifices must be made. My brother in Brisbane is
going to feel the change in the weather!
The new Antarctica scenario should follow in a few days.
