Why does a compass needle point north?

• The Earth's geographic N pole is magnetic N Pole.

• Because the N Pole is attracted to the N pole.

• Because The S Pole Repels the N pole.

• It aligns with the Earth's magnetic field. Geo N pole is a magnetic S pole.

Magnetic NORTH is actually geographic _________

• SOUTH
• NORTH
• EAST
• WEST
