How does earths magnetic field change over time?
It changes over time through direction and strength. So therefore Magnetic North becomes Magnetic South.
In which direction we should sleep and why?
this article is incorrect about earths magnetic effect on the body. Studies show that the body is south magnetic interior and north magnetic exterior in the daytime and this switches at night. It is this switch to inner north that stimulates the secretion of melatonin which puts us to sleep. so head facing north is the best for sleep. But I find everyone is different. and the earths magnetic field has been weakening for some time and is very low so not having its full effect.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Is the magnetic pole near the Earths true North Pole a magnetic south pole or a magnetic north pole?
Earths geographic North Pole is also currently a magnetic north pole. This is however not always the case because over geological time scales the Earth's magnetic poles flip as a result of changes of flow in Earth's molten core which produces Earth's magnetic field.
A device that uses the Earths magnetic field to indicate witch way north is?
A compass.
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?

Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.

How do you tell the three north's apart?
o True North- direction to earths north rotational pole. o Grid North- The Universal Transverse Mercator System which was developed by our military 1947, employs a reference system of rectangular. o Magnetic north-earth's magnetic field is believed to be in part of a consequence of Earths
What is the direction of magnetic filed lines?
The direction of magnetic field lines are from north to south
Does the magnetic field go from north to south or south to north?
The direction of a magnetic field is defined by the direction in which a compass needle will point when placed within that field -that is, from north to south.
Is wind direction from true north or magnetic north?
True North...
What point does North America end?
At earths magnetic feild .
Needle on compass always points to what pole?
The magnetic poles of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS (used to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'Magnetic North'), and do NOT describe their magnetic polarities. As 'unlike poles attract', the north pole of the compass needle points towards Magnetic North, whose polarity must, therefore, be south. By extension, the polarity of Magnetic South is north.
What instrument is used for determining direction?
A compass. The North magnetic pole is in the direction of the N on the compass. Therefore, the North magnetic pole is in fact a magnetic field south pole since it *attracts* the north magnetic field pole of the compass magnet.
