In which direction should you set off to get from the South Geographic Pole to the South Magnetic Pole?

From the south pole there's only one direction available: north. As soon as you take one step from the south pole, you can either continue going north or go east or west; in the last cases you will make very narrow circles.

What point on earth is the only place from which all directions face south?
The North Pole - because whatever direction you walk in away from it you will always be heading south. The North Magnetic Pole that is. Geographic North Pole is the correct answer. The magnetic pole is actually not in alignment with the geographic one.
Does the magnetic field go from north to south or south to north?
The direction of a magnetic field is defined by the direction in which a compass needle will point when placed within that field -that is, from north to south.
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.
Why do you need two North Poles?
== == Earth happens to have two North poles, but it is not necessary. * The geographic north pole is one of the two places where the axis of rotation meets the surface. All planets and stars have one geographic north pole and one geographic south pole. * The north magnetic pole is the point where the magnetic field points directly down, and the south magnetic pole is the point where the magnetic field points directly up. Earth happens to have one magnetic north pole and one magnetic south pole at the moment. Mars doesn't have any magnetic poles. Our sun often has dozens of magnetic north and magnetic south poles in or near its sunspots.
Is it beneficial to sleep north to south in the earth's magnetic fields?
Yes it should be.Because our body has its own certain electro-magnetic fields.There should be certain effect on physiology by sleeping in direction with earth magnetic field. === === No. There is no evidence that a human can detect or react to the earth's magnetic field, so it makes no difference which direction you lie in when you sleep.

What is the direction of magnetic filed lines?
The direction of magnetic field lines are from north to south
Does a compass use a magnetic force?
A compass does not "consume" energy as such. It just align according to the magnetic field of the Earth. One end will point North and the opposite End will point South. Note that the Geographic North and South are different from the magnetic North and South. A compass as in the simple ones with a metal pin giving direction, will always point to the Magnetic North.
How far is the magnetic south pole from the geographic south pole?
42 degress right
Does the magnetic field go from north to south or south to north?
The direction of a magnetic field is defined by the direction in which a compass needle will point when placed within that field -that is, from north to south.
When might a compass NOT work properly?
A magnetic compass will not work near a magnet or any magnetic object. A magnetic compass doesn't work near the magnetic dip poles -- near Earth's local north magnetic poles or near Earth's south magnetic pole.
How the compass works?
The Earth has a magnetic field approximately like a magnetic dipole, with the magnetic field S pole near the Earth's geographic north pole and the other magnetic field N pole near the Earth's geographic south pole. A compass can determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles by using a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) which is pivoting free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field.
The switch in direction of earth's magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
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.
How does a compass determine direction?
A compass is a free-spinning magnet that will align itself to be parallel to the Earth's magnetic field lines. Since the Earth's magnetic poles are located relatively close to its geographic poles, a compass pointing to Earth's magnetic north pole also indicates the general direction of Earth's geographic north pole.
What does true north refer to?
True north refers to the geographic location at the North Pole, determined by the Earth's axis of rotation. It is the direction towards which all lines of longitude converge. True north remains fixed, unlike magnetic north which can change due to magnetic forces.
