Explanation:

• A compass needle is magnetized. Opposite magnetic poles attract. The Earth has a magnetic field, and the north - seeking end of the compass needle (which is magnetized) points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
• The compass needle is designed to be able to move freely so that it can align with the Earth's magnetic field.
• The Earth's magnetic north pole is not the same as the geographic south pole. The geographic south pole is a location on the Earth's surface defined by latitude and longitude, while the magnetic north pole is related to the Earth's magnetic field.
