Is the magnetic north pole located in the south?

No, the magnetic north pole is not located in the south. It is located in the Arctic region, near the geographic North Pole.


IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?

A compass is still useful for determining direction because it points towards the magnetic north pole, providing a consistent reference point that helps in navigation. Even though the magnetic north pole and geographic north pole are not aligned, the difference can be accounted for using magnetic declination adjustments.


How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?

The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.


What is the main difference between North Pole and South Pole?

The North Magnetic and Geographic Poles are on a floating ice pack although the Magnetic North Pole can be located on a Canadian Island.


The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?

The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.


What is the difference between the North Pole and the magnetic North Pole, and how do their respective locations impact navigation and compass use?

The North Pole is the geographic point at the top of the Earth, while the magnetic North Pole is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards. The magnetic North Pole is located slightly off from the geographic North Pole. This difference can affect navigation and compass use because compasses point towards the magnetic North Pole, not the geographic North Pole. This can lead to discrepancies in navigation, especially in areas close to the magnetic North Pole.


Why a magnetic compass does not show the exact geographical poles?

A magnetic compass points towards the magnetic north pole, not the geographical north pole. The magnetic north pole is located slightly offset from the geographical north pole due to the Earth's magnetic field, which changes over time. Additionally, local magnetic variations can also affect the accuracy of a magnetic compass.


Are the locations of the magnetic South Pole and the geographic North Pole near Antarctica or the Arctic?

Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.


Where is earths magnetic North Pole?

compasses point to it. its at the north pole in the arcticNo It's not, the Magnetic North Pole is at this moment just off Ellesmere Island heading towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year.AnswerIt depends what you mean by 'magnetic north pole'. If you mean the location, called 'Magnetic North' (arctic), then its polarity is south. If, by 'magnetic north pole', you mean its magnetic polarity, then it's located at Magnetic South (antarctic).


Are the magnetic pole and the geographic north pole always the same distance apart?

The Geographic Poles are fixed at the earth's axis of rotation. The Magnetic Poles are located within a few hundred kilometres, but wander. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North (the location) is south, which is why it attracts the north pole of a compass needle.


Is it true earth magnetic poles are located on its axis?

No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located on its geographical axis. The magnetic poles are actually offset from the geographic poles, with the magnetic north pole currently located in the Arctic region of Canada and drifting over time.


The south pole a compass magnet points toward?

magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
