Difference
between Magnetic and Geographic direction
The
Earth's geographic poles are the points 90 degrees north and south of the
Equator at which all lines of longitude intersect. The Earth also has magnetic
poles near these points with which compass needles align themselves. The south
magnetic pole is off Wilkes Land, Antarctica, about 1,710 miles from the
geographic South Pole. The north magnetic pole is on Ellef Ringnes Island in
northern Canada, about 870 miles from the geographic North Pole.
The GREEN needle indicates the direction of the Qibla.
