What else can I help you with?
What is north-seeking pole?
It is magnetic north (not geographical north), which is the north on a magnetic compass.
Where is magnetic north?
'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locationsrelatively close to 'True North' and 'True South' which mark the earth's axis of rotation. The terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are used to differentiate their locations from those of 'True North' and 'True South'. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of these locations. In fact, the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic North' is a south pole, and the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic South' is a north pole. This is why the earth's magnetic field leaves at 'Magnetic South' and enters at 'Magnetic North', causing a compass needle to point along the lines of magnetic flux towards 'Magnetic North'.
What is the name given to the difference between true north and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
Where does a compas point?
A compass points towards magnetic north, which is the direction that a magnetic needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This is not the same as true north, which is the geographic North Pole. The difference between magnetic north and true north is known as magnetic declination and varies by location.
Does the magnetic compass always point in a northern direction when placed on the earth?
No. The true north pole and the magnetic north pole are in different locations. The compass will point at the magnetic north pole. If you happened to be somewhere between the two north poles, the compass will point exactly backwards!

What is earths north magnetic pole?
You must not confuse 'Magnetic North' with 'north magnetic pole', as these two things are completely different! 'Magnetic North' is a location, while 'north magnetic pole' refers to the magnetic polarity of the earth's 'Magnetic South'.'Magnetic North' is the point on the earth towards which magnetic compasses point. It is not a fixed position. It is presently (2012) in Canada and is drifting toward Siberia. It should not be confused with Grid, Geographic, or True North, which is a fixed point located at the axis about which the earth revolves. The same applies to the Magnetic South.The term, 'Magnetic North' describes a location, and has absolutely nothing to do with its magnetic polarity. The magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is actually a south pole, which is the reason it attracts the north pole of a magnet or compass needle.

What geographic pole is magnetic north?
The magnetic north is in a generally northerlydirection.
What is the Is the difference between true North and magnetic north?

The south pole a compass magnet points toward?
magnetic north north pole =magnetic south

What does magnetic north mean?
'Magnetic North' is the name given to a location in the Arctic, to differentiate it from 'True North'. Whereas True North is fixed and located at the Earth's axis of rotation, the 'Magnetic North' varies from year to year. The term, 'Magnetic North', does not describe the magnetic polarity at that location which, actually, is a south pole.
What do you mean by true course in navigation?
you can travel Magnetic or true courses ie magnetic north and true north. Magnetic north is by way of compass
