The North Magnetic and Geographic Poles are on a floating ice pack although the Magnetic North Pole can be located on a Canadian Island.
compasses point to it. its at the north pole in the arcticNo It's not, the Magnetic North Pole is at this moment just off Ellesmere Island heading towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year.AnswerIt depends what you mean by 'magnetic north pole'. If you mean the location, called 'Magnetic North' (arctic), then its polarity is south. If, by 'magnetic north pole', you mean its magnetic polarity, then it's located at Magnetic South (antarctic).
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
The magnetic north pole is currently located in northern Canada, close to Ellesmere Island. There are no known nmpis near the Earth's north pole.
Yes, if you put a north pole magnet at The Magnetic North Pole it will levitate
North.
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
Magnetic north pole is where your compass will point. Geographic North pole is at the "top" of the globe. If you put a pole straigh thru the earth from the north pole to the south it would be a straigh line.Magnetic north and south poles can and do move because the eath's magnetic field flucuates.The geographical or 'true'' north pole is the point where the Earth's axis line touches the Earth's northernmost surface. That is somewhere in the (northern) Arctic Ocean.The location of the magnetic north (and south) pole 'travel around' over time. Today the magnetic south pole - strange as it may sound - is located in the north of Canada, the magnetic north pole in southern Antarctica.
the magnetic north pole moves while the geographic north pole stays in the same place
The North Pole is the geographic point at the top of the Earth, while the magnetic North Pole is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards. The magnetic North Pole is located slightly off from the geographic North Pole. This difference can affect navigation and compass use because compasses point towards the magnetic North Pole, not the geographic North Pole. This can lead to discrepancies in navigation, especially in areas close to the magnetic North Pole.
actually the north pole of our earth(considering it as a big bar magnet) is the geographic south pole.Its called so because it lies on the northern hemisphere.Actually it is the south pole of our big bar magnetAdditional AnswerThe north magnetic pole of a compass needle points to Magnetic North. "Magnetic North" is so-called to differentiate it from "True North", and has nothing whatsoever to do with its magnetic polarity. Actually, the magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is a south pole which, because unlike poles attract, attracts the north pole of the compass needle.
