What else can I help you with?
If you were to travel from Canada to Guatemala in which direction would you travel north south east or west?
South East. You could get there by going North until you got to the North Pole, then south until you got to the South Pole then north again until you got to Guatemala (in Central America).
What is The part of a magnet that points north is called?
The pole of the magnet that points to earth's magnetic north is the south pole of the magnetIt should be understood that the north pointing end of a compass is a North magnetic pole. That being so, the north pole of the earth got its name because of this fact. Actually, the north pole of the earth has a South magnetic polarity which attracts the north pole of the compass. The south pole of a magnet points to the south pole of the earth because the south pole has a north magnetic polarity. Confused? Just remember that true (magnetic) north resides in the magnet; not in the earth. dbm 7/16/09Clearer AnswerThe above answer is incorrect. The poles of a magnet were named after the directions in which they point. The earth's poles were NOT named after a magnet's poles!When a horizontally-suspended comes to rest, it points in an approximately North-South direction. For this reason, the end of the magnet pointing North was called the 'North-Seeking' pole, and the other end was called its 'South-Seeking' pole. We no longer use the terms 'seeking', and we now call the ends of a magnet its 'north pole' and 'south pole' and these terms are also used to define their magnetic polarities.To differentiate it from True North and True South, we say that the magnet actually points to Magnetic North and Magnetic South -these are the names given to directions (or location) NOT their magnetic polarities. So, because 'unlike poles attract', the magnetic polarity at the location we call 'Magnetic North' is a south pole which therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet.
When did Matthew Henson get to the north pole?
Matthew Henson got to the North Pole in 1909
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.
Has the North Pole got internet?
No but Canada which is closer to the North Pole has vast array of ISPs such as IVC Telecom who are able to provide services.

What are Ernest Shackleton most famous achievements?
He got to the south pole.
Is it going to snow November-december?
If you man the UK it will snow next week in places. that is from the 22nd of November if you live in the north of the UK and from the 25th if you live in the south. If you are closer east of the UK, you have got more chance of getting snow and significant accumilations.
What was the man called who got to the South Pole first?
The Norwegian, Roald Amundsen led the team that first stepped on the South Pole. No document exists as to which team member was 'first'.
What did captain Scott say when he got to the south pole?
next stop New Zealand!
Which direction do magnetic field lines go from north to south?
Ah, let me share with you the beautiful world of magnetic fields! Just like a gentle breeze flowing from north to south, magnetic field lines also travel from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole. It's all part of nature's way of creating balance and harmony in the world around us. Let's appreciate the simple wonders of physics today!
