Question

the north pole of a compass magnet points toward

a. magnetic north
b. geographic north
c. geographic south
d. magnetic south

Explanation:

The Earth has a magnetic field. A compass magnet aligns with this field. Opposite magnetic poles attract. The north pole of a compass magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole. But the Earth's magnetic south pole is near its geographic north pole. So, the north pole of a compass magnet points toward geographic north.

Answer:

B. geographic north
