Is earth's north magnetic pole aligned with the geographic south pole?
No, Earth's north magnetic pole is not aligned with the geographic south pole. The north magnetic pole is actually located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the geographic south pole is at the southernmost point on Earth. The magnetic poles are influenced by the planet's molten core and can shift over time, leading to a misalignment with the geographic poles.
Why at the earths geometric north pole does the north end of a compass get pulled strongly downward?
Because the magnetic north points vertically downwards.
IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?
A compass is still useful for determining direction because it points towards the magnetic north pole, providing a consistent reference point that helps in navigation. Even though the magnetic north pole and geographic north pole are not aligned, the difference can be accounted for using magnetic declination adjustments.
Where was magnetic north verses geographical north 5000 years ago?
Approximately 5000 years ago, magnetic north and geographic north were not aligned as they are today. The difference between the two, known as magnetic declination, would have varied depending on the specific location, but it could have been several degrees. This variation is due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field over time.
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward what?
The North Pole of a compass magnet points toward the Earth's magnetic South Pole. This is because magnetic poles are opposites, and the North Pole of a magnet is attracted to the magnetic field generated by the Earth's core, which is located near the geographic North Pole. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's magnetic field, which is not aligned perfectly with the planet's rotational axis.
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
A permanent magnet has magnetic properties because?
it is made of materials like iron, nickel, or cobalt that have magnetic domains aligned in one direction, creating a magnetic field. The aligned magnetic domains result in a north and south pole, giving the magnet its magnetic properties.
Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
What point does North America end?
At earths magnetic feild .
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
Earth's magnetic axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 11 degrees from its geographic axis. This means that the magnetic north pole is not exactly aligned with the geographic north pole. The tilt causes compass needles to point slightly off from true north in certain locations.
What is the switch in directions of earths magnetic north and south pole?
idontknow
Can the earths magnetic field move?
Yes it can reverse from North to South
Compasses always point toward geographic south?
No. If you are talking about magnetic compasses, they are aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, which is not exactly north-south (depending where on the Earth you are located). There are, however, special compasses that make use of the Earth's rotation; those will point north-south, regardless of the magnetic field.No. If you are talking about magnetic compasses, they are aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, which is not exactly north-south (depending where on the Earth you are located).

At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
How is the earths magnetic field used for navigation?
Compasses use the magnetic field to navigate always pointing North.

How can you use a compass to find directions on Earth?
A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole. Earth has two different sets of poles the goegraphic and the magnetic pole... hope i helped some! Love ya! Rogers (vball # and bball # 4)
