The Geomagnetic poles (dipole poles) are the intersections of the Earth's surface and the axis of a bar magnet hypothetically placed at the center the Earth by which we approximate the geomagnetic field. There is such a pole in each hemisphere, and the poles are called as "the geomagnetic north pole" and "the geomagnetic south pole", respectively. On the other hand, the magnetic poles are the points at which magnetic needles become vertical. There also are "the magnetic north pole" and "the magnetic south pole". The geomagnetic or magnetic south (north) poles correspond to the N (S) -pole of a magnet.
The magnetic Pole shifts continuously but the geographic Pole is a mathematically positioned permanent site.
Yes, several hundred miles.
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.
Magnetic poles
The geographic North and South Poles are the points representing the earth's axis and about which it rotates. The Geomagnetic Poles are the points where the earth's magnetic lines of force converge. The north and south geomagnetic poles are both some distance from the geographic poles.
The magnetic Pole shifts continuously but the geographic Pole is a mathematically positioned permanent site.
Yes, several hundred miles.
The Difference Between The Two Poles Is Basically The Magnetic Force Between Them That Pushes Eachother Away. ?
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.
Magnetic force of attraction is invesely proportional to distance between two poles.
Pole strength is ability of poles to produce lines of force where is field strength is force which a magnetic poles experiences when places in magnetic field.
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.
Yes Called geomagnetic reversal it happens once every few hundred thousand years and the next is due soon, apparently.
magnetic meridian is a line joining the two magnetic pole while geographic meridian is a line joining the two geographic poles
magnetic force
When discussing the Earth's magnetic field, we could say that the Earth has a geomagnetic north pole. The magnetic field changes every several hundred thousand years and thus the north and south magnetic poles swap places.
