basically in a compass is a needle which is magnetic. The magnetic field of Earth attracts the north pole of the magnet (which is the needle in the compass) to the north pole of Earth. Same thing goes for the south pole of Earth
A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole. Earth has two different sets of poles the goegraphic and the magnetic pole... hope i helped some!
Love ya!

The magnetic compass has a tendency to show towards the north, or approximately towards the north, on most places of Earth.

Well the compass always points in the north south directions(geometric). You can use this concept to find your way.

A compass.
Compasses
Aligns the electrons in the same direction
since the magnet are place in north and north direction or south and south direction, the magnet will continue to loose it magnetic force of attraction. for more question call me on 2348133605375.
Because Earth is a magnet.
small magnet used to give direction
A compass.

The positive side of the magnet always points towards the north while the negative side will be in the opposite direction.
Yes. That is exactly what a magnetic compass does.a magnet, as in a fridge magnet cannot, but a magnetic compass can. a magnet compass points and directs itself the the north pole, where magnetic fields are located; this is why a magnetic compass can find directs as in NORTH SOUTH EAST OR WEST, it cannot say find it's way from say second street to third street,
You can break it in any direction.
keep striking it in one direction by another magnet
Demagnetizing. Place the magnet at the opposite end of the metal from where you magnetized it. Again, the magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Rub the metal with the magnet in the opposite direction that you used to magnetize it.
it depends on the north of a magnet and the south of a magnet
Yes. You would take another magnet and run it (with the north end) in the direction of the first magnet that points south. this will change the direction that the magnets north is on.

A plotting compass is a small magnet which is suspended and is free to rotate. When it is near a magnet, the compass will always point in a particular direction (the north pole's direction) becasue of the force of the magnetic field.
