Why is the compass headed to the north pole?
The actual North pole is not magnetic. You are thinking of the North Magnetic Pole which at this moment in time is somewhere off the coast of Canada heading towards Russia due to the movement of the Earths magnetic Field.
When you suspend a magnet freely why does it always lie in north and south direction?
When a magnet is suspended freely, it aligns itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to point in the north-south direction. This phenomenon is a result of the magnet seeking to minimize its potential energy by aligning with the magnetic field of the Earth.
Why is the climate in the North Pole cooler than that of Georgia?
The North Pole gets less direct sunlight than Georgia.
How can magnets push?
Remember that push or pull is force. Magnetic can be a push or pull because magnets has a kind of attraction force that attracts objects to itself and can also repel objects from itself. If we take two magnets into action we can demonstrate bothphenomenons. Magnets have a north and south pole, if we make face a south and a north pole of the magnets they will eventually attract each other and will stick together and if we make face the north pole of one magnet to the other north pole of the magnet they repeal (push) each other apart. Remember that this phenomenons of magnetic attractions are not applied to every single thing but limited to its opponent or limited to the objects that it can apply the push or pull strategy.
What happens to thelength of day as you move nor of the equator?
The path of the sun in the sky is determined by the Earths tilt with regard to the sun during the year and the position of the observers position on the Earth's surface. These same concerns also impact the location on the horizon that the sun appears to rise and set.In the simplest case, at the autumnal and vernal equinoxes the sun reaches a height of (90 - location degree of latitude). For other easily calculable times of yeas such as the solstices the sun reaches a height of (90 - degree of latitude - inclination of the earth in degrees) degrees.
What happens the closer you get to the north pole and south pole?
It gets colder.

How does a compass work using the Earth's magnetic field?
a compass has a magnetic point which points to the north pole. well yes but....a compass has a magnetic needle inside it which attracts it self to the earths magnetic field. it may not actually point to the norht pole but actually to the earths magnetic north pole
How does latitude afeect the temperatuer at the poles?
The further north you go in the northern hemisphere the lower in the sky the sun appears. This affects the amount of solar energy the north pole (or south pole) gets. Also the north pole has open ocean (or ice) and the south pole has land with ice on it. Because of this the north pole has ocean water that can circulate whereas the south pole has rock that cannot circulate energy. This leads to milder temperatures at the north pole verses the south pole. In the long run the angle the sun appears in the sky directly affects along with the length of daylight hours how warm it gets at the pole(s).
How could magnetic rocks affect a compass and why?
In a regular magnetic compass, the needle is a magnet. One end is the south pole and the other end is the north pole. Magnets are affected by other magnets. If a magnet is placed near a magnetic compass, the north pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the south pole of the magnet, and the south pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the north pole of the magnet.
How do you detect the poles of a magnet using compass?
To identify the north pole of a magnet, make a compass out of it by hanging it on a string or floating it on water. The pole that faces geographic north is the north pole. Once you have a magnets poles labelled, you can use it to identify orientation and poles on another magnet since like poles repel and opposite poles attract.Alternative AnswerEasier still, use a compass! A compass always points to the south magnetic pole of a magnet.
Effect of climate changes to north and south pole?
Ice melts, the area of ice gets smaller.
Why does the north pole have longer day light than the south pole?
The Earth is on a 23.5 degrees tilt, causing this effect. Note that this effect only happens for six months and later this effect gets passed onto the South Pole giving it a longer day than the North Pole.
What happens if the North Pole gets dark?
it gets cold
What happens when a compass is near a magnet?
Oh, dude, when a compass gets close to a magnet, it's like a magnetic showdown! The needle in the compass aligns with the magnetic field of the magnet, pointing towards the magnetic north pole. It's like the compass is saying, "I'm with this magnet now, sorry true north!"
Why is the climate in the North Pole cooler than that of Georgia?
The North Pole gets less direct sunlight than Georgia.
