Magnetic lines of force:

The image given in the question is attached below:

The magnetic lines of force of the earth emerge from the south pole and end at the north pole. It shows that the direction of the magnetic field is from north pole to south pole.

The magnetic lines of force are imaginary lines that never cross with each other. The lines are crowded at the poles and lines are spare at the equator. It always in one direction.

The intensity of the magnetic force depends on the number of magnetic lines at that position.

Earth's magnetic lines

Explanation:

The lines of magnetic force flow into Earth in the northern hemisphere and out of Earth in the southern hemisphere. At the North and South Poles, the force is vertical. Anywhere on the equator the force is horizontal, and everywhere in between, the magnetic force is at some intermediate angle to the surface.

Please refer to the attached picture for a diagrammatic representation of the magnetic lines of force.

The magnetic lines of force of the earth emerge from the South Pole and enter at the North Pole.
