GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The north pole of a magnet always points towards the direction of geographical north of the Earth(which is also its magnetic south pole).

Detailed explanation-2: -The north pole of a compass magnet points toward the north. But a magnet’s north pole is supposed to be attracted by another magnet’s south pole.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Geographic North Pole differs from the Magnetic North Pole by about 500 kilometers. The Geographic North Pole is where lines of longitudes converge into what we call the North Pole. The Magnetic Pole is a point in Northern Canada where the northern lines of attraction enter the Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -All magnets have two poles, where the lines of magnetic flux enter and emerge. By analogy with Earth’s magnetic field, these are called the magnet’s “north” and “south” poles. The north-seeking pole of a magnet was defined to have the north designation, according to their use in early compasses.

Detailed explanation-5: -So the north pole of the magnet points along the north direction while South Pole points along the south direction.
