Usuari:Pere prlpz/The center of the Earth according to Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The centre of the Earth is in Morocco. It's about 2400 below a point in Khouribga Province, but that is just the centre of the Earth according to English language Wikipedia. According to German language Wikipedia, it's 1200 km under a point in western Sardinia, according to Japanese language Wikipedia it lies on the Shaanxi-Henan border (China), and according to Russian language Wikipedia it's in Bulgaria. How do we find the centre of the Earth? Just like we find the centre (or centroid) of anything else: we find where is every point on it, we compute its coordinates and we average them for all points. And what do we use to find where are the points on Earth? Wikipedia, but since articles with coordinates are unevenly distributed across the Earth's surface and the articles with coordinates are different for every edition of Wikipedia, by computing the centre of the geolocated articles from different Wikipedias we get different points according to their diverse content.
