There are actually two "north poles" (and two south poles).
One is denoted as the place around whose axis the planet spins. North and South poles are at coordinates 90 degrees north latitude (alleged home of Santa Claus) and 90 degrees south latitude (south pole).
However, the Earth's magnetosphere radiates from two different locations, and these two locations are known as the north and south magnetic poles.
Ten years ago, the north magnetic pole was 81 N by 111 W (to nearest degree)
(Then, if are still still more bar bets, the Earth's polarity (which reverses itself every 100-200 millennium) is currently reversed, making the north magnetic pole actually the south magnetic pole!) Using this reverse logic, arguers could claim that the North pole was 64 S by 138 E in 2001.
And lastly, your next logical question might be, "Why aren't the two sets of magnetic coordinates dipolar?" I don't know if there is a scientific explanation, but I would imagine the different Earthly terrains might cause the magnetic "wobble".
It doesn't. They key in on the magnetic pole which is close but not exactly the same location as geographic pole
the north pole and the equater is south of maryland
If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.
If you were standing exactly at the North Pole, the only possible direction you would be able to travel would be south.
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.
Not exactly. The magnetic North Pole is near to the true North Pole but not exactly the same point.
The Equator is exactly between the North Pole and the South Pole. Look on a map of the world or on a globe.
Exactly 2. The North Pole, and the South Pole.
Father Christmas lives in the North Pole - Don't know exactly where but defiantly in the North Pole
45° North.
45° North.
The moon's orbit affects the magnetic field surrounding the earth.
Gaylord, MI is exactly halfway between the equator and the north pole. So it is kind of right in the middle.
90 (its the definition ...)
Face west and it will be directly behind you.
