Deep within the earth, along an axis which 'wobbles' around the earth's axis of rotation. This causes the locations called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to shift relative to the locations called 'True North' and 'True South'. The magnetic polarities of the locations 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are south and north, respectively.

Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No
How many magnetic poles are there on the earths surface?
2
Is it true that magnetic poles are defined by earths rotation?
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
What is true about earths poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?
The Earths magnetic field is always shifting
What is it called when earths magnetic poles change poles?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
About how often do earths magnetic poles?
every 250,000 years :)
About how do earths magnetic poles reverse?
every 250,000 years :)

Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Why is it hard to read a compass when standing at one of the earths poles?
Because the earths magnetic poles move around from year to year, and even day to day.
What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?
The Earths magnetic field is always shifting
