True!
Magnetic poles refer to the regions on a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest, typically designated as the north and south poles. Opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel. Earth's magnetic field also has a magnetic north and south pole, which are not aligned perfectly with the geographic poles. Additionally, the magnetic poles can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core.
true
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
False. Opposite poles attract. Same poles repel.
The Earth spins on its true or geographic poles, which are the points where the planet's axis of rotation intersects its surface. The magnetic poles, on the other hand, are where the Earth's magnetic field lines are perpendicular to its surface, and they do not coincide exactly with the geographic poles.
True. Bands of magnetic material in the sea floor that have opposite poles or exhibit magnetic reversal provide evidence for sea floor spreading. This is because as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, Earth's magnetic field periodically reverses, creating magnetic stripes on the ocean floor that align with the direction of the magnetic field at that time.
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
False. Magnetic poles and domains are different concepts. Magnetic poles refer to the regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is concentrated, while domains are regions within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction.
The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.
No, like or similar poles of two different magnets will repel each other. This is because they have the same magnetic field orientation and will push against each other. Opposite poles, on the other hand, will attract each other due to the alignment of their magnetic fields.
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.
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located on its geographical axis. The magnetic poles are actually offset from the geographic poles, with the magnetic north pole currently located in the Arctic region of Canada and drifting over time.
