No. As far as I remember geographic north pole is on the northern most part of the world and the magnetic north pole is a little to the off from the direct north (I don't remember how far or which direction).
To add to the above correct answer, the earth's magnetic north pole is currently situated about 1600 km (1000 miles) distant from it's geographic pole, and is in the vincinity of Bathurst Island in Canada's north. For unknown reasons it shifts somewhat over time, but does not consistently shift in the same direction. Naturally, so does the south magnetic pole.

The North Pole is always in the same place, but magnetic north is always shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
In 2010, the north magnetic pole is located off Ellesmere Island and is moving westward toward Russia at an estimated 40 miles per year (64 km per year).
There is no "what", because they're not the same. They're a good
280 miles apart, and the north magnetic pole is moving from Canadian
territory toward Russian territory at about 35 miles per year.
Earth's magnetic NORTH pole is close to Earth's geographic SOUTH pole - since the north pole of a magnet, such as a compass, will be attracted by the south pole of another magnet, it follows that Earth's magnetic south pole is towards the north, and vice versa.And no, there is no perfect alignment; the magnetic poles are several thousand kilometers away from the geographic poles, and they change over time.
No but the two are pretty close
yes
no its not
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.
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Every 250,000 years, when it farts
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.
They indicate that the Earth's magnetic field has undergone shifting of the positions of it's poles several times in the past.

A compass needle points to the magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic poles. There is nothing special about the magnetic field at the geographic poles.
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
There are two types of global poles; magnetic and geographic. Neither were invented. The magnetic poles are two points on the Earth where the magnetic field is most intense. The geographic poles are the northernmost and southernmost positions on the globe.
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
To the magnetic poles, which are offset somewhat from the geographic poles, and slowly change location.
No
