They're not.
We know that every once in a while they switch places,
and that they're constantly drifting a small amount.

How do the poles help cool earths temperature?
how do the earth's poles help cool the earth's temp
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.
The earth is slightly bulged at the poles?
No, flattened.
Which part of the earth is best reflected on a map?
The part of the Earth that is best reflected on a map is the surface. Maps reflect borders of countries or territories as well as physical features like mountains.
Why do the magnetic poles move around?
Because the metals in the hot center of our earth are moving arround.
How are poles of earth fixed?
By the axis of earths rotation
Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles
Why don't the Earth's geographic poles coincide with the magnetic poles?
because of core of our earth.

Does Earth's geographic North Poles and magnetic North Pole locations coincide?
The earth's Geographic Poles are located at the earth's axis of rotation. The earth's Magnetic Poles are located nearby (within a few hundred kilometres), but not at a fixed location because they 'wander'. The magnetic polarity of the location we call 'Magnetic North' is south because it attracts the 'north (-seeking)' pole of a magnet or compass needle.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no
When are Earth's poles expected to switch?
Earth's poles are to switch every few hundred thousand years.
What are the celestial poles?
The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the imaginary rotating sphere of stars called the celestial sphere. The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North pole and South pole respectively. As the Earth spins on its axis, the two celestial poles remain fixed in the sky, and all other points appear to rotate around them, completing one circuit per day.

Why do similar poles repel?
The behavior of poles is because the domains of the atoms in permanent magnets are fixed and exert opposite forces.
Are the earth's magnectic poles fading?
No, but the poles will shift in about 100,000 years.
