What is north-seeking pole?
It is magnetic north (not geographical north), which is the north on a magnetic compass.
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.
How does the north seeking gyro work?
North seeking gyro is the best gyroscopic surveying instrument for the mining and Oil & Gas industries. As it is a North-Seeking Gyro, all measurements are in reference to geographic North. Unlike other downhole survey or magnetic tools, it is not affected by magnetic interference. When it comes to directional surveying where precision and accuracy are of paramount importance, especially in areas with strong magnetic influences, true North-seeking gyro while drilling is the only solution. It can run inside casing without worrying about the magnetic influences causing deviations and errors.SPT true North-seeking gyro while drilling uses quartz technology, more rugged and highly precise in operation.
Is the north -seeking pole of a magnet stronger than the south-seeking pole?
No, they are of exactly equal strength. If it were possible to construct a magnet where one pole was stronger than the other, it would be a violation of one of Maxwell's laws (specifically, div B = 0).
Why does the magnetic north part of a compass needle point towards geographic north if like poles are suppose to repel?
Technically earth's northern magnetic pole is the south pole of its magnetic field. The north and south poles on normal magnets are derived from the fact that they are "north seeking" and "south seeking" respectively when made into a compass.
Would you capitilize north-seeking?
No.
Would you capitilize battle ax if you had medieval in front of it?
yes
Are you supposed to capitalize sea otter in an essay?
No, unless it is the start of a sentence, then you would capitilize the word "sea". Also, if there was a sea otter named "Sea Otter" then you would capitilize the name.

Is it Art Teacher or Art teacher?
You do not have to capitilize Art or Teacher unless you are starting a sentence. For example: Mrs. Nelson is my art teacher. Another example: Art teachers are funny. You would not capitilize teacher if you start a sentence with it. Hope i helped!
