The magnetic north is slowly moving. As of 2015, the magnetic north pole is projected to have moved beyond the Canadian Arctic territorial claim to 86.3 degrees North, 160 degrees West.

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.

Where is the magnitic north Pole?
The magnetic north pole is slowly wandering across the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia.
A magnetic pole is the part of a magnet where the magnetic effect is weakest.?
A magnetic pole is where the magnetic effect is greatest.
Is magnetic north equal to true north at any time during the year?
No. However, "magnetic north" is equal to true north for certain PLACES. The magnetic north pole is a slowly-wandering point which is currently in northern Canada. A line drawn from the north pole to the magnetic north pole, when extended through the rest of the world, defines a line of zero "magnetic variation", the amount by which magnetic north differs from true north. Most navigational maps are overprinted with lines of equal magnetic variation, and a navigator who neglects to properly apply the magnetic variation will become quickly lost.
What is tte magnetic interactions and magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles. These are of two types:- 1. N-pole(north pole) 2. S-pole(south pole) north pole one magnet repels towards north pole of other magnet.similarly south pole does. Are called magnetic intereactions.
The end of a bar magnet which points to the south magnetic pole is the?
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
Where is the magnitic north Pole?
The magnetic north pole is slowly wandering across the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia.
What best describes Earth's north magnetic pole?
Your expression, 'earth's north magnetic pole' is, at best, confusing. Are you referring to 'Magnetic North', which is a location and not the polarity of that location? Or are you referring to the magnetic polarity of this location, which is a south pole?If the former, then a compass indicates the direction of Magnetic North. If the latter, then earth's north magnetic pole is located at Magnetic South. In other words, a compass needle points to Magnetic North because it is attracted by its south magnetic polarity.Just to expand somewhat on this answer... 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are so-named to differentiate their locations from 'True North' and 'True South'. In other words, 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locationsand not magnetic polarities. In fact, the magnetic polarity of True North is a south pole, and the magnetic polarity of True South is a north pole. I would also argue that the terms 'Magnetic North (or South) Pole' is confusing, because the location is not really a 'pole' in either the geographic or magnetic sense. By calling Magnetic North, a 'pole' causes confusion, making some students confuse their location ('Magnetic North') with their polarity ('south')!Apex answer: Wandering
Is the earths north magnetic pole wandering?
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 happen to the angle of declination as you get closer to the pole?
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. felicity knows whats up<3

What is a sentence with magnetic pole?
Where is the magnetic pole
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The most logical interpretation of apparent polar wandering is?
the north pole (or south poled during periods of magnetic reversal) has remained fixed and the continents have moved in relation to the pole. Page 90 Chapter Three
