magnetic variation
magnetic variation
Magnetic declination or variation.
It is measured exactly the same in the Southern hemisphere (no difference between the two hemispheres). It is the difference between magnetic north and true north and it varies all over the globe. Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is positive when magnetic north is east of true north (clockwise) and it is negative when magnetic north is west of true north (anti-clockwise).
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles, a magnetic compass doesn't point to 'true' (geographic) north. The DIFFERENCE angle between magnetic north and true north is the magnetic variation or declination where you are. It changes for different locations.

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.
An ordinary magnetic compass points to magnetic north, not to true north. If the difference between the two directions is large and not accounted for, you can get lost.
the magnetic north pole moves while the geographic north pole stays in the same place
The difference is referred to as magnetic, or compass, declination.
Magnetic north is the direction towards which a compass needle points, influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. True north, on the other hand, refers to the geographic North Pole, the point at which the Earth's rotational axis intersects its surface. The discrepancy between magnetic north and true north is known as magnetic declination and varies depending on the location on Earth.
North refers to the geographic North Pole, which is the point on the Earth's surface where the planet's axis of rotation meets the surface. Magnetic north, on the other hand, refers to the direction indicated by a compass needle, which points towards the magnetic North Pole - a location that is constantly shifting due to changes in Earth's magnetic field.
