A compass contains a magnet. The magnet responds to Earth’s magnetic field. The magnet’s north pole points north from most locations on Earth. Based on what you learned about magnetic force, make three predictions. Predict the approximate size of Earth’s magnetic field and the approximate location of its North and South Poles. Give a reason for each prediction.

If you use a website to help get the info you must use a .edu or .gov website and list it in your answer

First Prediction: I predict that in the Southern Hemisphere, the needle of the compass will point south rather than north as the magnetic pull from the southern pole is greater than the northern pole there.

Second Prediction: I predict that moving a magnet around a compass will cause the needle to point to the closer magnet rather than a pole of the earth as the magnetic pull of the magnet is stronger than the magnetic pull of the closest pole of the Earth.

Third Prediction: I predict that the size of Earth’s magnetic pull is on all of the Earth. This is because the compass will— as long as it is not impacted by another magnetic force— always point toward the nearest magnetic pole. Furthermore, I predict that Earth’s North and South Poles are at the top and the bottom of the Earth, as the compass will always point north or south.
