True or False The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is in the same place as the North Pole?
False. The Earth's magnetic fields are constantly shifting, and have been at widely different points over the Earth's history. The North Pole (geographic) is defined by the Earth's spin, and does not appreciably change over millions of years.
What is the southern hemisphere counterpart of the North Magnetic Pole?
The south magnetic pole is located in Antarctica. It is constantly moving as a result in shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. Currently it is located near Adelie Land.
What is magnetic pole wandering?
Magnetic pole wandering refers to the gradual movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over time. The Earth's magnetic field is not fixed and can vary in strength and direction. The North and South magnetic poles have been observed to slowly shift their positions, with the North Magnetic Pole moving towards Russia at a rate of about 10 kilometers per year.
What are the polarity of earth's north and south poles?
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
What pole of a compass is attracted to earth's magnetic north pole?
The south pole of a compass is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole. This is because the magnetic north pole actually corresponds to a magnetic south pole, which attracts the compass's south-seeking end. As a result, when you hold a compass, the needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards magnetic north.
True or False The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is in the same place as the North Pole?
False. The Earth's magnetic fields are constantly shifting, and have been at widely different points over the Earth's history. The North Pole (geographic) is defined by the Earth's spin, and does not appreciably change over millions of years.
Is the North Pole moving?
The geographical North Pole is not moving. The magnetic north pole is constantly moving because of the shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. Currently, it is moving towards Russia at a rate of 64km a year, or almost 40 miles a year. See the related link.

What are the polarity of earth's north and south poles?
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
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.
What pole of a compass is attracted to earth's magnetic north pole?
The south pole of a compass is attracted to Earth's magnetic north pole. This is because the magnetic north pole actually corresponds to a magnetic south pole, which attracts the compass's south-seeking end. As a result, when you hold a compass, the needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards magnetic north.
Why is it that the Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole?
The Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole because the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This movement creates a magnetic field that aligns with the geographic north pole, causing it to act as a magnetic south pole.
What is the South Pole's magnetic charge?
The South Pole of the Earth's magnetic field is considered to be the magnetic south pole, where the magnetic field lines point into the Earth. This is opposite to the geographic south pole, which is the point that lies at the southernmost tip of the Earth's axis of rotation.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
Which pole of a compass magnet is attracted to earth's magnetic north pole?
The pole of the compass that is attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole must be a south magnetic pole. But here's the thing. In the compass, the south magnetic pole of the needle is marked "N" because that end of the compass needle points to earth's magnetic north. The only way the needle can point to earth's magnetic north is if that end of the needle, the one marked with an "N" on it, is a magnetic south pole. It almost seems counter intuitive, but think it through and it will become clear.
