An exhaustive search of internet resources spanning no less than 4 minutes
turned up the following estimate for the 2012 position of the Earth's north
magnetic pole:
85.9°N / 147.0°WIf these figures are correct, and I have neither the resources nor the desire todispute them, then they place it some 283 miles from the geographic north pole,
and 33 degrees of longitude ... some 163 miles ... due east of the 180th meridian.
(Of course, the Earth's circumference at that latitude is only something like 1,780 miles.)
The magnetic declination in San Diego, California is approximately 12 degrees east, which means there is a 12 degree difference between true north and magnetic north in that area.
Canada. Note that that is just one point in Canada, which is a big country, stretching over many degrees of latitude and longitude.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.

That point is in the Red Sea. So are many others.
The most recent location for the North Magnetic Pole that we could find on-linein an exhaustive 2-minute search placed it at 71.78° west longitude as of 2005.That's 36.22° east of 108° west longitude, and 179.78° west ... almost exactlyopposite ... of 108° east longitude.
The magnetic declination in San Diego, California is approximately 12 degrees east, which means there is a 12 degree difference between true north and magnetic north in that area.
Canada. Note that that is just one point in Canada, which is a big country, stretching over many degrees of latitude and longitude.
Iraq is about 9.8 degrees of longitude wide, and North Carolina about 8.8 degrees wide. So, depending on which points you pick on each end, the longitude between them could swing over a range of about 18.6 degrees. -- Mosul is 121.1 degrees east of Wilmington. -- Basra is 130.2 degrees east of Greenville.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
The Philippines is located in Southeast Asia at approximately 13 degrees North latitude and 122 degrees East longitude.

A meridian describes an arc connecting the north and south poles (a single line of longitude). As such, a meridian will be 180 degrees.
Greenland ranges in latitude from about 59.80° to 83.62° North, and in longitude from about 12.27° to 73.03° West.
That point is in the Red Sea. So are many others.
At 37 degrees north latitude, 1 degree of longitude is approximately 53 miles. The distance varies depending on the latitude due to the Earth's curvature.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. 180 degrees. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
