GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth’s spin determines geographic north and south poles. They are the locations on earth through which the axis of the earth’s spin passes. Magnetic north is determined by the direction of a compass points. So, the magnetic north and south poles of the earth are different from its geographical north and south poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic north is the direction towards the north magnetic pole, which is a wandering point where the Earth’s magnetic field goes vertically down into the planet. The north magnetic pole is currently about 400km south of the north geographic pole, but can move to about 1, 000km away.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the magnetic south pole of the earth is in the direction of the geographic north pole and the magnetic north pole of the earth is in the direction of the geographic south pole. So, the given statement is false.
