Is it true that magnetic poles are defined by earths rotation?
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
What is true about earths poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
Is it true earth magnetic poles are located on its axis?
No. The north magneic pole is in Canada, the south in Antarctica but not the pole.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Does the inner core and outer core spin separately and is this why magnetic and true north are different?
I don't think that they spin in oposite directions if that's what you mean. Magnetic north and true north are completely unrelated. True north is a geographical location that lies on earth's axis. Magnetic north is just what they call it. At somepoint they must have noticed that earth's magnetic poles seemed to line up with north and south so that's what they named magnetic poles since they could be used for navigation. The core's spinning does cause the magnetic poles to move though.

What is true about earths poles?

What statement is true about Earth's poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
What is true about Earth's magnetic field?
It is strongest near the north and south magnetic poles.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
What is magnetic variation?
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles, a magnetic compass doesn't point to 'true' (geographic) north. The DIFFERENCE angle between magnetic north and true north is the magnetic variation or declination where you are. It changes for different locations.
Is it true earth magnetic poles are located on its axis?
No. The north magneic pole is in Canada, the south in Antarctica but not the pole.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
True or false are Magnetic poles called domains?
true
Where are the earth's magnetic poles?
Deep within the earth, along an axis which 'wobbles' around the earth's axis of rotation. This causes the locations called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to shift relative to the locations called 'True North' and 'True South'. The magnetic polarities of the locations 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are south and north, respectively.
Would it be true to say that there are two opposite magnetic poles?
True!
