If earth is a giant magnet why does the magnetic south pole correspond with the geographical north pole?
Good question ! The answer is that when scientists first began to investigate magnets, the pole of a magnet that tries to point North was called a "north-seeking pole". The word seeking was quietly dropped when people got tired of saying it. So, the magnetic pole in northern Canada is a south-seeking pole, or as we would say today, the South pole of a magnet. The earth's north-seeking pole is in Antarctica.An Alternative Answer'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS, so-named to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South'. These terms have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarity of those locations.The ends of a magnet (or of a compass needle) are so-called because, when freely suspended, come to rest pointing in the directions of Magnetic North and Magnetic South. Originally, these were called the 'North-seeking' and 'South-seeking' poles of the magnet. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and now simply call them their 'north' and 'south' poles. These are the magnetic POLARITIES of the magnet's ends. Since the 'north' pole of a magnet is attracted towards Magnetic North, the polarity of that location is south. So the earth behaves as though there is a giant magnet, buried within the earth, with its south pole locatedat Magnetic North and its north pole located at Magnetic South.
