Answer:
When discussing the Earth's magnetic field we could say that the Earth has a GEOMAGNETIC NORTH POLE. The magnetic field changes every several hundred thousand years and thus the north and south magnetic poles swap places. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
North Magnetic Pole
Explanation:
The terrestrial magnetic field is what makes possible the existence of compasses, used for location in space. Thanks to this invention, the great navigations could happen.
The dynamo theory is the most accepted for the explanation of the terrestrial magnetic field. According to this idea, iron and molten nickel, about 3,000 km deep, move around generating electrical currents that trigger the magnetic field.
Magnetic poles
A magnet has a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic field generated by the magnets, which is the region near the magnet where another magnet or materials such as iron and steel are attracted, is represented by exiting the north pole and entering the south pole.
When the magnetized needle of a compass aligns with the earth's magnetic field, the north pole of the needle points to the northern region of the planet and the south pole of the compass magnet points to the southern region of the planet.
The attraction occurs only between different poles, that is, if the north pole of the needle points to the geographic north, it means that what we call geographic north is the magnetic south pole of the earth. Similarly, the geographic south pole of the planet must be the magnetic north pole. The image above reveals this inversion between the magnetic and geographic poles.
The earth is a giant magnet, and its magnetic field protects us from particles from the sun.
