Answer:
While a compass is a great tool for navigation, it doesn't always point exactly north. This is because the Earth's magnetic North Pole is not the same as "true north," or the Earth's geographic North Pole . ... Declination varies from place to place because the Earth's magnetic field is not uniform it dips and undulates.
