GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic North is in Geographical South pole. Magnetic South is in Geographical North Pole. A compass needle is a bar magnet with a pointed north pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth’s magnetic South Pole lies near to its geographic north and hence the compass needle when allowed to spin whichever way it wants, will always line itself along the north-south direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compass needles are designed to align with Earth’s magnetic field, with the north end of the needle pointing to the magnetic North Pole and the opposite end of the needle pointing to the magnetic South Pole.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you use a compass to see which way is north, south, east, and west, you are really using a magnet. The little moving pointer in a compass is actually a small magnet! The needle lines up and points in a certain direction because Earth itself has magnetism and acts like a magnet too!
