WHAT is the difference between the earth magnetic Pole and earth's geographical poles

Answer 1

The Earth's geographic poles are the points 90 degrees north and south of the Equator at which all lines of longitude intersect. The Earth also has magnetic poles near these points with which compass needles align themselves. The south magnetic pole is off Wilkes Land, Antarctica, about 1,710 miles from the geographic South Pole. The north magnetic pole is on Ellef Ringnes Island in northern Canada, about 870 miles from the geographic North Pole.

Answer 2

The Geographic North Pole is where lines of longitudes converge into what we call the North Pole. The Magnetic Pole is a point in Northern Canada where the northern lines of attraction enter the Earth.
