They are completely different landmasses.

In fact, the North Pole is not a land mass at all. It is part of a floating ice shelf. The South Pole sits on the land mass known as Antarctica.

What are the characteristics of the north and south poles of both a magnet and the earth?

The North pole of a magnet or Earth attracts the South pole, while repelling the North pole. The South pole attracts the North pole and repels the South pole.

Does every magnet necessarily have a north and a south pole?

Yes,every magnet has a north pole and a south pole.IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH POLES :If you have a magnet and you make a line exactly in the middle you will see that one side is the north pole and the other one is a south pole . You can even experiment this : when you are done drawing a line cut your magnet by that line . Do you think that you will have two magnets and one of them is south pole and the other one is the north pole . Well no !!!!!! You will have two magnets but both of them have south and north poles.Now:Remember , you know this magnets attach to each other .But north pole and an other north pole will never attach to each other.And the same thing goes for the south poles. Two south poles will never atach.Only two different poles will attach to each other ( north and south will attach, and south and north will attach to each other as well).ALL magnets have one north pole and one south pole.
