The magnetic South Pole wanders, and in 2015 was located using these coordinates: 64.28°S 136.59°E.
It is defined as the location where Earth's geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards.
What else can I help you with?
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
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.
The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south
If like magnets repel why does north pole of magnet point towards earths north pole instead of the south pole?
Think about this,What leads you to believe that it is the north magnetic pole of the earth that the compass is pointing to? See the link. The answer is a bit mind-bending. The magnetic pole of the earth that is located near our ' geographic north pole' is magnetically a 'south' pole. Strange but true.AnswerThe answer is simple and straightforward. And it's not strange in the least!The first and most important thing to understand is that the terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' describe locations, or directions, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of those locations. They are called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'True South', not to identify their magnetic polarities.The end of a magnet that points to the location, 'Magnetic North', was, for obvious reasons, originally named its 'north-seeking pole'. Over time, we have dropped the word, 'seeking', and we now call that end of a magnet its 'north pole'. As well as indicating the direction in which it points, it is also used to describe its magnetic polarity.As 'unlike poles attract', in order to attract the 'north pole' of a magnet, the earth's Magnetic North Pole location must have a south magnetic polarity.
What pulls the South Pole of a magnetic compass?
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
Is the magnetic north pole located in the south?
No, the magnetic north pole is not located in the south. It is located in the Arctic region, near the geographic North Pole.
What do scientist not know about earths magnetic field?
When the north pole becomes the south pole.
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?
idontknow
How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?
The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.
Where can I find the magnetic South Pole?
In 2015, the South Magnetic Pole was located at 64.28°S 136.59°E.
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.
What magnet use in the compass?
non the compass uses the earths magnetic field that is why the north pole and south pole is the most important directions because the north and south pole have the most highest magnetic feilds
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
Where is earths magnetic North Pole?
compasses point to it. its at the north pole in the arcticNo It's not, the Magnetic North Pole is at this moment just off Ellesmere Island heading towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year.AnswerIt depends what you mean by 'magnetic north pole'. If you mean the location, called 'Magnetic North' (arctic), then its polarity is south. If, by 'magnetic north pole', you mean its magnetic polarity, then it's located at Magnetic South (antarctic).
The lines of magnetic force generated by the fluid motions of the earths core result in the formation of what?
the North Pole and the South Pole
Are the locations of the magnetic South Pole and the geographic North Pole near Antarctica or the Arctic?
Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.
