The Earth are two North Poles: the geographic North Pole and the magnetic north pole. The geographic North Pole does not move.
The magnetic North Pole (this is the North Poles that allows a compass to work) does move. It moves (very slowly) due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the movement of liquid metal beneath the Earth's surface. (The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently near the geographic South Pole, near Antarctica. Conversely, the Earth's magnetic South Pole is currently near the geographic North Pole.)

The geographical poles are still and never change position the slightest, whilst the magnetic poles are always changing their position, but only slightly.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The Geographical South Pole, The Magnetic South Pole and The Southern Pole of Inaccessibility.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.

Are the North Pole and the south pole geographical poles?

Does earths geographical North Pole move 10 km each year?
The geographic poles move hardly at all ... fractions of a millimeter in response todrastic geological events, such as extreme earthquakes.The Earth's magnetic poles can move hundreds of meters in the span of a year.
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Why does a compass does not show exact geographical poles?
A compass needle points to the magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic poles. There is nothing special about the magnetic field at the geographic poles.
Why does freely suspended magnet does not point exactly the geographical N-S Direction?
