Question

A compass used to find directions on Earth's surface does not point northward in some locations. Where would this problem most likely occur? (1) over a geologic deposit of magnetic iron (2) where strong winds always blow from the same direction (3) a region that has not been explored and mapped (4) at the South Pole

Answer 1

The answer is (1) because compasses are affected by magnets. If you put a magnet next to a compass, the compass will point to the south end of the magnet. This is because the magnetic pole of the earth is very weak in comparison to most other magnets.
