It may not be important, but it IS a matter of wide interest, because it determines
the length of daylight and darkness everywhere on Earth, as well as the onset of
each change of seasons.

Who said the magnetic field theory?
Tesla was a very important scientist and he said the magnetic field theory. It was a very significant theory and today we all know about the magnetic fields. A pop band has also used this name too.
The region of magnetic force around a magnet is know as it's?
Magnetic field
Which type of materials are magnetic?
i do not know. that is why i told you
What pulls magnets and magnetic objects together?
The magnetic poles of them. The North Poles pull on the South Poles, I think. No one know how these pheonomenon forces are create but they have some properties that we know of today
What kinds of forces cause compounds?
I know that one of the forces is the magnetic force because if it is a possible chance its magnetic and it can Cary many energy or iron stuff
Why is magnetic Declination is important?
Because if you need to use your compass to figure out which direction is north,then you need to know by how much the direction the compass points is wrong,and which way. That's the magnetic declination.
When using a compass to map an area why is it important to know an areas magnetic declination?
Unlike the geographic poles, which are always in the same place, the magnetic poles change location throughout the history of earth. So when using a compass to map or explore the Earth's surface, you need to make a correction for the difference between geographic nor and magnetic north.
To convert a grid azimuth to a magnetic azimuth you will need to know g-m angle. where would you look for this piece of information?

What is the magnetic declination for Missouri?
Zero. That's not precisely true, but if you really need a precise value you'd already know better than to ask what the declination was for an area as large as the state of Missouri. The agonic line (where the declination is precisely zero) does currently run through Missouri, so the value is less than a degree or two for essentially the whole state.
What is the optimun angle of declination?
Zero degrees! If the angle of declination is 0°, then magnetic north is exactly the same as true north, making it much easier to navigate. But really, there isn't any "optimum" angle. One angle is just as good as another as long as you know how to correct for it in the right way.
How do you align your compass to true north?
To align your compass to true north, you need to adjust for magnetic declination, which is the angle between magnetic north and true north. You can find the specific magnetic declination for your location using online tools or a topographic map. Once you know the value of magnetic declination, you can use it to adjust the compass needle or rotate the bezel to align it with true north.
Is it important to know formulas for pie why?
It is important to know formulas of pi for circles like areas of a circle and its circumference
What are the causes of magnetic drift?
I want to know about magnetic drifs.what are the causes? I want to know about magnetic drifs.what are the causes?

Why is it important for an actor to know stage areas?
Because he or she has to know which direction to turn, what direction others will come from, etc.
Why is it important for us to identify areas which are prone to drought?
We need to know the areas of earth that are prone to drought because they affect the efficacy with which such areas may be used for agriculture.
Region around a magnet in which magnetic force can act?
