when you are close to the magnetic north pole, the declination will be so variable and unpredicatable that a magnetic compass becomes all but useless. You also need to consider the effect of local magnetic anomalies and polar wandering.

What is the angle between the geographic North Pole and the direction in which a compass needle points is called magnetic?
The angle between the geographic North Pole and the direction in which a compass needle points is called magnetic declination. This angle varies depending on the location on Earth and can be used to adjust navigation using a compass.

What is the purpose of a declination?
Assuming the subject is magnetic declination the difference between the north pole and the true north pole this difference, is the magnetic declination, there is not information on what purpose it serves.
How do you find magnetic direction?
The angle between the direction your compass points and the direction you're facing is the 'magnetic azimuth'. The angle between the direction to the north pole and the direction you're facing is the 'true azimuth'. They are virtually never the same angle. The difference between them is the 'magnetic declination' or the 'compass declination' in the place where you are at in which.
Does a compass point to the geographic north pole?
No. The compass needle points toward the magnetic north pole.
The angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles is called the declination How does the declination change as you move north from where you live?
The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.
What is the range or values for declination?
Declination, which measures the angle between the direction of a celestial object and the celestial equator, ranges from +90 degrees to -90 degrees. A declination of +90 degrees indicates the North Celestial Pole, while -90 degrees indicates the South Celestial Pole. Values between these extremes represent the position of celestial objects in the sky relative to the celestial equator.
What is of the Angle of magnetic north?
That all depends on WHERE on the earth you are located. The angle between the direction to the north geographic pole and the north magnetic pole is different at different places. Go to "Google.com" and search for "magnetic declination". You'll get plenty to read, and ways to determine what the angle is at your location.
Is Ontario closer to the south pole or is Ontario closer to the north pole?
It's a lot closer to the North Pole than it is to the South Pole.
