Answer 1

A: Geographical South

Answer 2

Answer:

The north pole of the earth's magnet is in the geographical south.

Explanation:

• The earth is behaving like a huge bar magnet with ‘north and south magnetic poles’.
• The earth has “geographic north and south poles”.
• The magnetic field of earth is with a tilt of about 11 degrees which differentiates the earth’s magnetic pole and the geographic pole.
• When a magnetic compass is held in the ‘northern hemisphere’, it will point towards the “south magnetic pole” and towards the “north magnetic pole” when it is placed in the southern hemisphere.
