The Earth's magnetic poles do in-fact 'wander' over the years. Estimates put the movement of the North Pole at 34-37 miles (55 and 60 kilometres) per year. The magnetic poles are not always directly opposite each other. There is a good article on Wikipedia with more information - search for 'north magnetic pole'.

What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
If earth's magentic field is like a bar magnet where is the north pole of bar the magnet?
If we were to align a bar magnet with the Earth's magnetic field the north pole on the bar magnet would be the red-colored portion. When it comes to Earth, as of now the North pole is in the arctic. However, this is the magnetic north pole which is slightly off true north and always wandering due to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. True north is exactly what the name implies, it the very top and perfectly centered point on the Northern hemisphere.
If you put a North Pole magnet at The Magnetic North Pole will it levitate?
Yes, if you put a north pole magnet at The Magnetic North Pole it will levitate
If the labels on a magnet are missing how would you determine which pole is the north pole?
If you have a compass or a magnet with the poles marked, you can bring it near the magnet with the missing labels. The north pole on the unlabeled magnet will repel the north pole on the labeled magnet or the north pole on the compass.
Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.
Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.
Is the North Pole of a magnet plus or?
The North Pole of a magnet is traditionally considered the "north" end because it is attracted to the Earth's geographic North Pole, which is actually a magnetic south pole. In magnetism, opposite poles attract, so the North Pole of a magnet is a magnetic north pole, while the Earth's North Pole behaves like a magnetic south pole. Therefore, the North Pole of a magnet is not "plus" but is simply referred to as the North Pole.
What magnet use in the compass?
non the compass uses the earths magnetic field that is why the north pole and south pole is the most important directions because the north and south pole have the most highest magnetic feilds
What nsp is the end of a magnet that points north?
North Seeking Pole
Will a north pole of a magnet against the north pole of another magnet attract or repel?
Repel.
How do you know which is the North face of the magnet?
To find the north pole of a magnet you can use a pole identifier. When the identifier is held to the magnet, you press a button and it will tell you if it is the north or south pole.
