What is the difference between lodestone and magnetite?
So far as I can figure out, the difference is the alignment of poles and magnetic configuration. In non-lodestone Magnetite, the poles are not aligned. You essentially have multiple natural magnets glopped together in a ferrous oxide matrix, or simply an ore with the chemical composition of FeO·Fe2O3. Magnetite is magnetic, but does not always create a natural magnetic field. Lodestone has definite north and south poles, and is considered the most powerful of natural magnets.
What is an example of natural magnet?
Yes. For example, Lodestone where Magnes stepped on it and its metal slippers stick, it happened in the place Magnesia and our planet Earth is magnetic. That's why we have North and South Poles.
What are natural magnet?
Natural Magnet The lodestone is a species of iron ore which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores. When freely suspended it always points to the poles.
Are there resources such as water or metals for mining on the planet mercury?
there is no water on mercure except at the poles
Could the earth's magnetic poles be the cause of continental drift?
No, the cause of continental drifts is actually the flow of the magma below the continental plates and the oceanic plates
What do we call a natural magnet?
In a sense, the Earth is a natural magnet, with north and south poles effecting compasses. Naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite, commonly known as lodestone, is an example of a natural magnet..
What would cause two magnets to repel?
Like poles.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
What can cause auroras near earth poles?
Solar winds are the out-of-this-world event that cause auroras to appear on earth. Auroras can happen near both the north and the south poles.
If earth did not rotate could you define the celestial poles and celestial equator?
No, you would not be able to define the celestial poles and equator if the Earth did not rotate. Without rotation, there would be no poles, save for possibly magnetic poles.
The angle of the suns rays is the cause of the differences in temperature at the?
It is the cause of the differences in temperature at the equator and North and South Poles.
What cause the global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
