Today we talked about gravity and the North Pole. I did a bit more research and found out that although both poles have more gravity than the other parts of the Earth, the North actually has more gravitational pull than the South as Antartica is the Southern continent and it is a very high plateau so it would be higher up and consequently have less gravity than the North, which is in the middle of a deep ocean. This is also the same reason why the South is colder than the North. Hence, Mr. Lim was wrong to say that the North Pole has equal gravity to the South Pole.
This is the site where I did my research. http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkNOnOfUtpM8NsVKD_Nlolwh4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20070726222930AAUa3Hd
