Why does a compass needle change direction when it is near a magnetic field?
Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.Because of the magnetic force. The compass needle is also magnetic.
Why is the magnetic compass so important?

Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

What kind of transportation did cartier use?
They used a ship and a navigator to help them find their destination and the navigators were a magnetic compass and astrolabe (the stars). He could of use the blah blah!
What type of force did sailors use to help navigate the waters?
Navigators can use a magnetic compass to determine which way is North even when they can't see the North Star.
Why magnetic compass is used by sailors and navigators to find the direction?
On a magnetic compass, the needle marked North points towards magnetic North, provided there is no ferrous metal nearby. Magnetic North is not the same as geographic North (North Pole). On a metal ship, the magnetic compass has to be adjusted (box the compass) to allow for the metal round the ship. By steering a compass course, allowing for drift caused by the wind and the ebbing and flooding of the tides, a ship should be able to reach a distance port, or at least be with in sight.
How navigators and sailors used magnetic compass?
The Earth's magnetic field is what makes the common magnetic compass work. From its invention until the advent of newer technologies beginning around the turn of the 20th century, the magnetic compass, together with the sextant and the chronometer, constituted the primary tools of the navigator. Of course, the compass' primary role was to facilitate steering ships on the right heading under conditions where the Sun and stars could not be seen.
