Geopolar

/dʒiːoʊˈpoʊlər/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or concerning the geographic poles of the Earth or the areas near them.

Etymology

From geo- (earth) + polar (relating to poles), combining geographic terminology to describe polar regions. Used in modern scientific and geographic contexts.

Kelly Says

Geopolar regions are where the planet's magnetic field converges dramatically, creating the aurora borealis and australis—those dancing lights happen because charged particles from the sun crash into our atmosphere in exactly these geopolar zones.
