Why does a compass point toward Earth’s geographic North Pole? Select three options.
Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic north pole.
Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic south pole.
Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.
The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic north pole.
The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic south pole.
Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic north pole.
Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.
The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic north pole.
IT WAS Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic south pole. Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north. and The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic south pole.
I apologize for the incorrect response. However, Earth’s geographic North Pole is actually close to the magnetic north pole, not the magnetic south pole. Therefore, the correct options are:
1. Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic north pole.
2. Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.
3. The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic north pole.
In the diagrams, the solid green line represents Earth's rotational axis and the dashed red line represents the magnetic field axis. Which diagram accurately shows Earth's magnetic field?
At center the Earth with the sun in the upper left on a black background and a dotted red line showing the Earth's axis of rotation. Yellow circles pass through Earth's poles to both sides of the globe with arrowheads pointing down. A blue line passes a few degrees to the right of the dotted red line above the Equator and a few degrees to the left of the dotted red line below the Equator.

The correct answer is magnetic field. In an illustration, lines of force are drawn around a magnet to illustrate the magnetic field.
Mateo drew the field lines around the ends of two bar magnets but forgot to label the direction of the lines with arrows.
At left a rectangular box with the long horizontal side labeled S. At right a rectangular box with the long horizontal side labeled N. There is a gap between the boxes. Curved lines labeled 1 emerge from the right end of S and reach the left end of N.
In which direction should an arrow at position 1 point?
left
right
up
down
An arrow at position 1 should point "right".
Joe follows the procedure below to make a compass.
1. Move a magnet from the top of a needle to its point fifty times.
2. Lay the needle on a cork that is floating in a bowl of water.
3. Observe the direction that the needle points.
What is the purpose of step 1?
to give the needle an electric charge
to make the needle sharper
to magnetize the needle
to flatten the side of the needle
