<span>To a first approximation, the Earth's magnetic field resembles that of an enormous bar magnet. The field lines emerge from the southern half of the earth and re-enter in the northern half.
Several features of the Earth's field vary in a predictable way across the surface of the globe and might, in principle, be used in assessing geographic position. For example, at each location on the Earth, the field lines intersect the Earth's surface at a specific angle of inclination. On the diagram above, note that near the equator, the field lines are approximately parallel to the Earth's surface; the inclination angle in this region is said to be 0°. As one travels north from the equator, however, the field lines become progressively steeper. At the magnetic pole, the field lines are directed almost straight down into the Earth and the inclination is said to be 90°. Thus, inclination angle varies with latitude. As a consequence, an animal that has the ability to distinguish between magnetic inclination angles has a mechanism that it might be able to use to approximate its latitude. As we will discuss, hatchling loggerheads have been shown to have this ability.<span>A second geomagnetic parameter that varies across the surface of the Earth is the strength or intensity of the field. Although intensity varies somewhat less predictably than inclination, the general trend is that the field is strongest near the magnetic poles and is weakest near the equator. Hatchling loggerheads have also been shown to detect magnetic field intensity.Important Features of the Earth's field:<span><span>Inclination angle: The angle at which the magnetic field lines intersect the surface of the earth. This angle ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles.</span><span>Intensity: The magnetic field also varies in strength over the earth's surface. It is strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator.</span></span></span></span>

Lana71 [14]

The earth is made of Poles. What the different at the North Pole from the way she remembers the sky in Florida is that all of the above would be different from the way it is in Florida.

<h3>What are the different North Poles?</h3>

The Earth is known to have Four North Poles. They are;

  • The Geographic North Pole.
  • The North Magnetic Pole.
  • The Geomagnetic North Pole.
  • The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility.

The Both of the Arctic is known as (North Pole) and the Antarctic  is known as (South Pole). They are known to be cold as  they do not readily have direct sunlight.

See options below

What will be different at the North Pole from the way she remembers the sky in Florida?

1. A celestial pole is overhead

2. The celestial equator is on the horizon

3. The way (and whether) the stars rise and set

4. All of the above would be different as it is in Florida

erica [24]

Answer:

First, a consumer will analyze the cost of the products.

Next, the costumer will analyze the benefit that that products could bring for them. Let's say that both products cost  $ 50. The costumer may think :

- The concert will give me about 3 hours of happiness

- while the jeans could give me about 3 years and it motivate me to maintain my weight.

After weighing the benefit, the jeans is more favorable to him because it bring more benefit to him than the tickets so he chose to use his money to buy the jeans instead

(found it on google hope it helps :))  )
