Which one of the following statements is correct? earth's geographic north pole is the north pole of earth's magnetic field. earth's geographic south pole is the south pole of earth's magnetic field. the north pole of a magnet points towards earth's geographic south pole. the north pole of a magnet points towards earth's geographic north pole. none of the above statements is correct.

The best answer to this question: Which one of the following statements is correct? Would be: None of the above statements is correct.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the correct answer comes from the positioning that the geographical poles, and the magnetic poles of the Earth are located, and how a compass needle, its north end which shares the same charge as the North magnetic pole, is attracted to the opposite. Essentially, we know that the North geographic pole is at the top of the globe, while the southern one is  at the bottom. However, the magnetic field of Earth, the covering shield around our planet, is positioned in the opposite direction, given that opposite charges attract. Since compasses are magnetically charged elements on their north pointing end, they will respond to point north, but where the opposite charge is, and that would be, the south magnetic pole, positioned close to the north geographic pole. The only reason the second to last option is not correct is because compasses do not point towards geographic locations, but to the actual magnetic field, and that magnetic field on the north geographic pole is actually the southern magnetic pole.
