•     What is the  difference between the Geographic  and the  Magnetic north pole?
    The geographic north pole is the top of the planet. Its position does not  change. The north magnetic pole is the point where all of the magnetic lines of  the field flow directly into the earth. Magnetic North is constantly in motion,  currently moving approximately 26 miles (40 Km) per year. Right now the Earth’s  magnetic north pole is in northern Canada. If the north magnetic pole  continues on its present course and speed, it will be in northern Siberia by the year 2050. The magnetic poles have even  reversed themselves, with the north magnetic pole being in the south and the  south magnetic pole being in the north.
