Question

which best describes earths magnetic field lines? the field lines go out of earth at the geographic south pole and enter earth at the geographic north pole in the area where the magnetic pole aligns with the geographic pole. the field lines go out of earth near the geographic south pole and enter earth near the geographic north pole in an area where the magnetic pole does not align with the geographic pole. the field lines go out of earth at the geographic north pole and enter earth at the geographic south pole in the area where the magnetic pole aligns with the geographic pole. the field lines go out of earth near the geographic north pole and enter earth near the geographic south pole in an area where the magnetic pole does not align with the geographic pole.

Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field lines emerge from the vicinity of the geographic South - Pole (which is close to the magnetic North - Pole) and enter near the geographic North - Pole (which is close to the magnetic South - Pole). The magnetic poles do not align exactly with the geographic poles.

Answer:

The field lines go out of Earth near the geographic South Pole and enter Earth near the geographic North Pole in an area where the magnetic pole does not align with the geographic pole.
