What else can I help you with?
What kind of worm is thin black shiny and about the size of a pine needle?
I'm not sure, but it could be an Earth worm.
What would happen if a black hole passed through the earth like a needle?
Nothing, The earth would be sucked up before it even got near to the earth.
What is a magnetized needle that is attracted to the Earth's North magnetic pole?
It is still a needle, but could be referred to as a compass needle.
What would happen if the earth passed through a black hole?
One does not simply "pass through" a black hole.
What feature of the Earth makes a compass needle point north?
What features of the earth makes a compass needle point north
Why does a needle on a compass move?
A needle on a compass is a magnet, and it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This allows the needle to point towards the magnetic North Pole. The movement of the needle is a result of the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic properties of the needle.
Which pole of a compass magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole?
The pole of the compass that is attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole must be a south magnetic pole. But here's the thing. In the compass, the south magnetic pole of the needle is marked "N" because that end of the compass needle points to earth's magnetic north. The only way the needle can point to earth's magnetic north is if that end of the needle, the one marked with an "N" on it, is a magnetic south pole. It almost seems counter intuitive, but think it through and it will become clear.
Why does a needle points in the direction it does?
A needle points in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field due to its alignment with the Earth's magnetic field lines. The needle itself becomes magnetized and aligns itself with the north and south poles of Earth's magnetic field.
What Caused the compass needle to move?
A compass needle moves because it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron in the outer core of the Earth. This causes the needle to point towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
Why does the north end of a compass needle dip downwards and does it always behave like this?
You have to realize that the Earth is a sphere and that the magnetic north pole isn't in a direction tangent to the Earth's surface, but rather through the Earth itself. Therefore, a compass needle will dip downwards if it is dense enough to break the surface tension of the fluid it is floating on.
In the first crude compass why was the needle floated in water?
The needle was floated in water in the first crude compass to reduce friction and allow it to move freely in response to Earth's magnetic field. This helped the needle align itself with the Earth's magnetic north and south poles, indicating direction.
What magnetized steel needle that aligns with the magnetic of the earth is a?
A compass needle is a magnetized steel needle that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field. Its use allows for determining directions such as north, south, east, and west.
