AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the magnetic field of Earth is stronger near the middle (like in Mexico) or at the bottom (like in Antarctica), we can analyze the characteristics of Earth's magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Earth's Magnetic Field**: - Earth's magnetic field can be visualized as lines of force that originate from the magnetic north pole and terminate at the magnetic south pole. These lines are denser at the poles and more spread out at the equator. 2. **Location of Mexico and Antarctica**: ...
