The compass has a small magnet, that can move around freely. This is affected by the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic south pole is near its geographic northpole, but not exactly so.
In Puerto Rico, your compass would point north towards the North Pole in the Arctic region.
The point to which a compass always points is the magnetic North Pole. This is because the compass needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which is directed towards the magnetic North Pole.
The marked end of a compass needle typically points towards the magnetic north.
The center of the earth has iron core
True north is the direction indicated by the Earth's axis of rotation, while magnetic north is the direction indicated by the compass needle. The arrowhead of a compass points towards magnetic north, not true north.
The compass will point towards the magnetic north pole.
A compass.
The north pole of a compass needle would still point point towards the north. More precisely, towards the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is close to the geographic north pole.
In Puerto Rico, your compass would point north towards the North Pole in the Arctic region.
Compass points always towards Earth's magnetic north.

The marked end of a compass needle typically points towards the magnetic north.
The magnetic needle of a compass points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
The North Star points towards the compass point North.
