The latest figures available for the position of the Magnetic North Pole is 82.7N and 114.4W. This figure is from 2005. The position of the Magnetic North Pole has historically moved at a rate of about 10 miles per year up until the early 1990's when it accelerated to its present rate of about 37 miles per year. It is currently moving towards Siberia.
Northern Canada, a few hundred miles from the geographic north pole.
APEX: wandering
CommentIt's incorrect to describe 'Magnetic North' as a 'pole' -either in the geographic sense, or in the magnetic sense. The term is used to differentiate between it and 'True North', which isconsidered to be a 'pole' in the geographic sense.
The term, 'Magnetic North' describes a location, and has absolutely nothing to do with its magnetic polarity. The magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is actually a south pole, which is the reason it attracts the north pole of a magnet or compass needle (unlike poles attract).
The south magnetic pole is well north of the Antarctic circle, and the North magnetic pole is wandering relatively rapidly at the moment.
Remember these poles are formed as the result of electrical currents flowing in the magma etc, and running roughly parallel to the Equator. Indeed there may be more than one conduction path - what we see is the net result.
One is in the Arctic and the other is in the Antarctic, they are called the North and South magnetic poles and are not in exactly the same positions as the geographical North and South poles.

In Northwest Territories, Canada.
In the north and south poles
The outer boundary of the magnetosphere.

Yes. In historical times , clay pots have shown that the earth's magnetic field has reversed.
Current flows inside he Earth.
Its molten iron core.
No, but at the poles the field (because of the orientation of the field lines) offers the least protection.
earths moon is located basicly on the earths gravitational pull called the ionosphere which is the highest magnetic field of earth
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
Yes.
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
the earths magnetic signature is a negative polarity signature
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
magnetosphere
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
