It could not be used because it attracts magnets and a compass
is a specialist form of magnet, utilising the magnetic properties
of the earth to give a reading.
Compass housings are invariably made of brass, aluminium or
plastic.

The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more
towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is
actually near Greenland.

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
It is important to take the declination into account when one is
closer to the poles because declination varies more as a function
of longitude and not the latitude. In North America, if one goes
toward the east coast, the declination increases to the west. If
one goes to the west coast, the declination increases to the
east.

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
Evidence is not used to support theory.
Theory is used to explain evidence, and to predict where and how
new evidence may be found.
When new evidence is found that theory can't explain, the
prevailing theory is modified or discarded.

Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The
Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally
called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a
magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a
magnet is attracted to it.

What is the The north magnetic pole of a compass needle is attracted to the magnetic pole of the earth.
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
No. A north pole of one magnet will get attracted to the south
pole of another magnet; therefore the compass needle that points
north points to Earth's south magnetic pole - which is in the
north.Confusingly, this has traditionally been called Earth's NORTH
magnetic pole, since it is to the north.
