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.

Needle on compass always points to what pole?
The magnetic poles of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are LOCATIONS (used to distinguish them from 'True North' and 'Magnetic North'), and do NOT describe their magnetic polarities. As 'unlike poles attract', the north pole of the compass needle points towards Magnetic North, whose polarity must, therefore, be south. By extension, the polarity of Magnetic South is north.
True North and Magnetic North are the same true or false?
No. True north is the direction of earth's pole, 90 degrees north latitude. The pole is the axis upon which earth rotates. Magnetic north is the magnetic pole generated by the vast reservoirs of metal within the body of the earth. Magnetic north moves a little because the earth is very geologically active.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Why is the compass headed to the north pole?
The actual North pole is not magnetic. You are thinking of the North Magnetic Pole which at this moment in time is somewhere off the coast of Canada heading towards Russia due to the movement of the Earths magnetic Field.
What is true north compared to magnetic north?
true north is the direction towards the Geographic north pole, the point on the globe exactly 90 degrees north of the equator, and thru which the earth's rotational axis meets the surface. Magnetic north is the direction towards the magnetic north pole which is predicted* to be located at 82.7 degrees north latitude, and 114.4 degrees west longitude (just north of Canada). Magnetic north is where a compass actually points to, so you must adjust your compass acordingly. *this is predicted because magnetic drift causes the pole to move from year to year.
Where is earth's magnetic field strongest?
where is the earths magnectic field the stongest? the strongest place of the magnectic place is right in the middle of shouth pole and north pole
What is the difference between the magnetic north pole and the geographical north pole?
the magnetic north pole moves while the geographic north pole stays in the same place

Is it true or false that the conditions of earths atmosphere at a particular time and place id called climate?
True
True North and Magnetic North are the same true or false?
No. True north is the direction of earth's pole, 90 degrees north latitude. The pole is the axis upon which earth rotates. Magnetic north is the magnetic pole generated by the vast reservoirs of metal within the body of the earth. Magnetic north moves a little because the earth is very geologically active.
Why does south pole of the compass always point to the north while north pole always points to the south?
Like magnetic poles repel, unlike magnetic poles attract. So the magnetic south and magnetic north of two bar magnets will attract. Therefore, though the compass needle points towards the magnetic north, it is actually the magnetic south pole of the compass needle that is pointing towards the magnetic north.
How does a compass needle respond when a compass is Place with in a magnetic field?
If a magnetic compass needle is placed in a magnetic Field , its needle deflects and points in the north and south directions
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Why doesnt a compass needle point due north?
Because the geographical North (the point around which the Earth rotates) is in a different place to magnetic north.
Why does the earths equator receive more heat from the sun then the north and south pole?
It is the closest place to the sun.
