Magnetic fields are directed away (outward) from north magnetic poles and inward toward south magnetic poles. That is why a magnetic compass placed near a bar magnet points away from the north pole of the magnetic. On the Earth, a magnetic compass points toward geographic north. Based on this information, the Earth's north magnetic pole should be found on which continent? Aorth Arenica ASIA NORTH AMERICA AFRICA SOUTH AMERICA AUSTRALA
