Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?

No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.


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 is axis of polarity?

The axis of polarity refers to the imaginary line around which the Earth's magnetic field is oriented. It is not fixed and can shift over time due to geophysical processes in the Earth's core. The axis of polarity plays a key role in determining the orientation of a magnetic compass.


Why does the earths magnetic field change over time?

The Earth's magnetic field changes over time because that is the way that God makes it.


When graphing speed which measurement is on the x axis and the y axis?

If you are graphing speed over a period of time, speed goes on the y-axis and time goes on the x-axis.


Why is Earth's magnetic field not lined up with Earth's geographical poles?

Although the Earth's geographic axis only slightly "wobbles" over time, the magnetic field generated by its core can move, or even reverse polarity, in response to fluid dynamics in the outer core.


What is the term for the apparent tendency of the north magnetic pole to vary in positions over time?

The term for the apparent tendency of the north magnetic pole to vary in position over time is magnetic pole drift or magnetic pole wander.


Is temperature on the x or y axis?

It is usually on the y-axis because you are comparing it over time. However it can sometimes be on the x-axis.


Is the earth axis straight up and down?

No earth's axis is tilted, this tilt shifts over time.


How can the magnetic field of the Earth be sued to estimate the age of rocks found in the Earth?

By knowing the precise orientation of the rocks magnetic field, you can compare its magnetic field direction to the known direction of the magnetic field over time since the "north pole" wanders over time. The rock locked in its magnetic field when it cooled from magma.


Why are there 2 north poles on earth?

The earth rotates on its axis. One end of the axis is called the north pole (where the earth rotates counterclockwise around the pole) and the other end is called the south pole (where it rotates clockwise).
