No. Remember that like poles repel.
What we call the Earth's north is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field.
What else can I help you with?
Is magnetic north at the top of the earth?
No, magnetic north is not at the top of the Earth. Magnetic north is the direction that a compass needle points towards, which can be different from true north (the North Pole). The magnetic north pole is actually located in northern Canada and shifts over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
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.
Does Uruguay have a magnetic field?
The earth as a single object has a magnetic field. If Uruguay is part of the earth, it shares the earth's magnetic field.
What is resion of Earth magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electrical currents flowing in the earth.
What is it called when Earth's magnetic poles chang places?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
What is the magnetic force of this planet called?
The magnetic force on Earth is called Earth's magnetic field or also the geomagnetic field.
How do magnetic stripes show Earth's history of magnetic fields?
As you move away from an ocean ridge, the rocks get older.
What location on Earth do compass needles point to?
The Earth has its own magnetic field because there are electric currents and magnetic materials in its core. Roughly speaking, the shape of the magnetic field lines are such that they go between the "top" and into the "bottom" of the Earth. Top means Arctic and bottom means Antarctic. A compass, or any other simple magnet, will align itself with the magnetic field lines in its vicinity. Roughly speaking, when two magnets are near each other, the "north" end of one magnet points in the direction of the "south" end of the other. The north end of a compass points towards the geographic north pole. That is in the Arctic. It is sometimes call the north magnetic pole because it is near the top of the northern hemisphere of the Earth. That is the answer to this question. Note however that the "north pole" is a geographic location. As a magnetic pole of the magnet that is Earth, it is a "south" magnetic pole. One can understand how it arose historically that is was given exactly the opposite of the correct assignment as a magnetic pole. Finally, it should be said the the magnetic field of the Earth has a number peculiar features and its details are much more complicated than a description of an ideal magnet, hence in detail, a compass direction has a lot of complex variations depending on where one is located on Earth.
Where on Earth has the most magnetic pull?
The magnetic North Pole, located in the Arctic Ocean, has the most magnetic pull on Earth. It is the point where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the middle of the earth or at the bottom of earth?
near both magnetic poles
Where the vertical component of earth's magnetic field is zero?
The vertical component of Earth's magnetic field is zero at the magnetic equator, where the magnetic field lines are horizontal. At the magnetic equator, the magnetic field lines run parallel to the Earth's surface, resulting in a zero vertical component.
How would you use the Earth's magnetic field to tell you where on Earth you are?
You can't. The only thing the earth's magnetic field can tell you is the direction from where you are toward the earth's magnetic pole. That doesn't tell you anything about where you are.
