Earth acts like a giant imaginary bar magnet buried deep inside its core. Which magnetic pole of this internal Earth magnet is situated near the Geographic North Pole?
  1. Magnetic North Pole
  2. Magnetic South Pole
  3. Equatorial Pole
  4. Neutral Zone

Solution

Since the North-seeking pole of a compass needle points toward the geographic North, the Earth's internal magnet must have its magnetic South pole located near the geographic North Pole.
