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 else can I help you with?
Where is the magnitic north Pole?
The magnetic north pole is slowly wandering across the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia.
Is earths north magnet pole wandering?

What do scientist not know about earths magnetic field?
When the north pole becomes the south pole.
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
What is magnetic pole wandering?
Magnetic pole wandering refers to the gradual movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over time. The Earth's magnetic field is not fixed and can vary in strength and direction. The North and South magnetic poles have been observed to slowly shift their positions, with the North Magnetic Pole moving towards Russia at a rate of about 10 kilometers per year.
Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?

What best describes Earth's north magnetic pole?
Earth's north magnetic pole is the point on Earth where the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards. It is currently drifting towards Russia at a rate of about 10 kilometers per year. This pole is different from the geographic North Pole, which is the point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface.
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 nmpis near the earths north pole?
The magnetic north pole is currently located in northern Canada, close to Ellesmere Island. There are no known nmpis near the Earth's north pole.
The lines of magnetic force generated by the fluid motions of the earths core result in the formation of what?
the North Pole and the South Pole
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).
