Answer:

The iron filings outline the magnetic field lines, making it visible. Magnetic fields all have a pair of "poles", from which "lines of force" or magnetic field lines appear to originate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron fillings can provide evidence that a bar magnet has a magnetic field because iron filling quickly aligns in the design of the magnetic field. It is the same with the Earth’s magnetic field

In the picture to the right iron filings have been sprinkled around a bar magnet. The iron filings outline the magnetic field lines, making it visible. Magnetic fields all have a pair of "poles", from which "lines of force" or magnetic field lines appear to originate.
