Earth's Geomagnetism

Front

What happens to each geomagnetic pole in relation to the compass poles?

Back

Each geomagnetic pole attracts the opposite pole of the compass while repelling the like pole.

Front

What do lines drawn in a model of a single magnet loop outward between?

Back

Opposite magnetic poles.

Front

What occurs to a compass needle when it is attracted by one magnetic pole and repelled by the other?

Back

It spins in a circle.

Front

What do magnetic field lines help predict?

Back

The direction of the forces pulling or pushing different magnets.

Front

What do scientists use to visualize magnetic forces?

Back

Magnetic field lines.

Front

What is the definition of a magnetic pole?

Back

A region of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest, typically classified as north or south.

Front

What is the role of magnetic field lines in understanding geomagnetism?

Back

They represent the direction and strength of magnetic forces in a magnetic field.

Front

How do magnetic poles interact with each other?

Back

Opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other.

Front

What is the significance of the Earth's magnetic field?

Back

It protects the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation and helps in navigation.

Front

What is the difference between magnetic attraction and repulsion?

Back

Attraction occurs between opposite poles, while repulsion occurs between like poles.
