Is the Earths geographic North Pole a magnetically south or north pole?
Magnetic north is the direction in which the compass needle points north as is magnetic south the direction the compass needle points south. Because the magnetism of the Earth is ever changing all compasses must be calibrated by declination to find correct direction depending on where the user is located. It is thought that the molten poles in the Earth’s core switch approximately every 10,000 years which can be shown in the finds of rare earth magnets.
