What is true about earths poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
Does Earth's geographic North Poles and magnetic North Pole locations coincide?
The earth's Geographic Poles are located at the earth's axis of rotation. The earth's Magnetic Poles are located nearby (within a few hundred kilometres), but not at a fixed location because they 'wander'. The magnetic polarity of the location we call 'Magnetic North' is south because it attracts the 'north (-seeking)' pole of a magnet or compass needle.

Why does a compass does not show exact geographical poles?
A compass needle points to the magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic poles. There is nothing special about the magnetic field at the geographic poles.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no
What is it called when earths magnetic poles change poles?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
Who invented poles?
There are two types of global poles; magnetic and geographic. Neither were invented. The magnetic poles are two points on the Earth where the magnetic field is most intense. The geographic poles are the northernmost and southernmost positions on the globe.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
Does Earth's geographic North Poles and magnetic North Pole locations coincide?
The earth's Geographic Poles are located at the earth's axis of rotation. The earth's Magnetic Poles are located nearby (within a few hundred kilometres), but not at a fixed location because they 'wander'. The magnetic polarity of the location we call 'Magnetic North' is south because it attracts the 'north (-seeking)' pole of a magnet or compass needle.
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No
How many north poles are their?
2 geographic and magnetic
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
