True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?

True. The magnetic poles move constantly.


Does the inner core and outer core spin separately and is this why magnetic and true north are different?

I don't think that they spin in oposite directions if that's what you mean. Magnetic north and true north are completely unrelated. True north is a geographical location that lies on earth's axis. Magnetic north is just what they call it. At somepoint they must have noticed that earth's magnetic poles seemed to line up with north and south so that's what they named magnetic poles since they could be used for navigation. The core's spinning does cause the magnetic poles to move though.


Is it true that magnetic poles are defined by earths rotation?

No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.


What is true about earths poles?

Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.


Is true about magnetic poleWhich of the following is true about magnetic poleWhich of the following is true about magnetic poleWhich of the following is true about magnetic poleWhich of the follow?

Magnetic poles refer to the regions on a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest, typically designated as the north and south poles. Opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel. Earth's magnetic field also has a magnetic north and south pole, which are not aligned perfectly with the geographic poles. Additionally, the magnetic poles can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core.


What statement is true about Earth's poles?

What is true about Earth's magnetic field?

It is strongest near the north and south magnetic poles.


Is it true earth magnetic poles are located on its axis?

No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located on its geographical axis. The magnetic poles are actually offset from the geographic poles, with the magnetic north pole currently located in the Arctic region of Canada and drifting over time.


What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?

The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.


True or false are Magnetic poles called domains?

False. Magnetic poles and domains are different concepts. Magnetic poles refer to the regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is concentrated, while domains are regions within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction.


Where are the earth's magnetic poles?

Deep within the earth, along an axis which 'wobbles' around the earth's axis of rotation. This causes the locations called 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' to shift relative to the locations called 'True North' and 'True South'. The magnetic polarities of the locations 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are south and north, respectively.


What is magnetic variation?

Magnetic variation is the angle between true north (the direction pointing to the North Pole) and magnetic north (the direction a compass needle points). It varies depending on location and changes over time due to shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. Pilots and navigators use magnetic variation to accurately navigate using a compass.
