What is North Magnetic Pole ?

Answer 1

The Magnetic North Pole is one of the two poles of the Earth's geomagnetic field's dipole moment, specifically the one that is closest to the geographic north pole. Navigators refer to it as the magnetic north pole because by knowing the angular declination from it to the geographic north pole where they are (usually printed on maps) they can determine the direction of the geographic north pole. Ironically, the magnetic north pole happens to be the Earth's south dipole moment, because by custom the magnetic poles are named after the geographic poles they are nearest. This pole moves in various ways, in ellipses, in a random motion over eons, and by the two poles switching places, as explained in the article below.

Answer 2

The North Magnetic Pole is the South Pole of the Earth it is said so because if you suspend a magnet freely by using a thread it will come into rest with its NORTH pole of the Magnet facing south of the Earth coz unlike poles attract and that is why the North Magnetic Pole means south pole of the Earth

Answer 3

named such so people can navigate its a reference point for maps...
