0 a point on the earth near the North Pole or the South Pole that a compass shows as north or south. These points are not directly opposite each other.
Each row had magnet pole faces pointing in the same direction, and the rows alternated in magnetic pole orientation.
In time, it would be demonstrated that they had fallen short of their goal; the elusive magnetic pole wandering beyond the explorers' reach once more.
These represent the force that a north magnetic pole would experience at any given point.
External viewers see these beams as pulses of radiation whenever the magnetic pole sweeps past the line of sight.
They expect that in the future, the magnetic pole position will be obtained from satellite data instead of ground surveys.
They usually appear as pairs, with each sunspot having the opposite magnetic pole to the other.
This magnetization has a "preferred direction", since one can tell the north magnetic pole of the sample from the south magnetic pole.
Since the continents have been moving relative to the pole; it is as if they were immobile and the magnetic pole was moving instead.
