The south magnetic pole is located in Antarctica. It is constantly moving as a result in shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. Currently it is located near Adelie Land.

What is the definition of Northern and Southern Hemisphere?
if you mean the boundary it's north of the equator which is 0 degrees. so anything that has north in it like 42 north. if the answer tell me and I'll edit to help. degve@bellsouth.net
Why does the compass point north in the southern hemisphere?
The direction of magnetic flux or lines of force is from north polarity to south polarity, and a compass needle will always align with that direction, wherever it is used. Since the magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south, a compass needle will point in that direction.
Is Antarctica in the north or south hemisphere?
Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere. As well, parts of it are in the Eastern and parts in the Western Hemisphere.
What do you mean the south seeking pole in a magnet?
The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.
If a city is located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is it located in north hemisphere or southern hemisphere?
All "north" latitudes are in the northern hemisphere.
What direction do compasses point in the southern hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere, compasses still point towards magnetic north. The difference is that magnetic north is located in the Northern Hemisphere, so compasses in the Southern Hemisphere will point in a northerly direction.
What is Aurora counterpart role?
There's an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at the north magnetic pole and an Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at the south magnetic pole.
Is a northen hemisphere compass the same as a southern hemisphere compass?
No, the magnetic needle in a northern hemisphere compass is attracted to the Earth's magnetic North Pole, while in a southern hemisphere compass, it is attracted to the South Pole. This means that compasses designed for each hemisphere will have their markings and adjustments oriented accordingly.
How is magnetic declination measured in the northern hemisphere?
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).
What continent is in the western but not the Southern Hemisphere?
North America is located in the western but not the Southern Hemisphere.
What hemisphere is south of Texas?
Northern and also the southern hemisphere.
Is the Tropic of Capricorn in the north hemisphere with the southern hemisphere?
southern
What hemisphere is the northern hemisphere north of?
The southern hemisphere
What is the difference between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere?
the north hemisphere is in the north
What is inclination and declination?
Inclination is measured as the angle at which the satellite crosses the equator while passing from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Declination is the difference between magnetic North as reported by a compass and true North.
What continents does not extend into the southern hemisphere?
Europe and North America do not extend into the southern hemisphere.
What is the definition of Northern and Southern Hemisphere?
if you mean the boundary it's north of the equator which is 0 degrees. so anything that has north in it like 42 north. if the answer tell me and I'll edit to help. degve@bellsouth.net
