Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which one of the following statements is correct? Would be: None of the above statements is correct.

Explanation:

Planet Earth is characterized by the following: it possesses geographical locations known as the North and South poles, which we all have heard of, and then it also possesses a magnetic field, which surrounds the planet and protects it from space by forming a sort of shield. Interestingly enough, when people use compasses, and the needle of the compass points to the north, we tend to assume that wherever the needle points, it signals the position of the magnetic North pole, but the reality is different. Our planet is characterized by the fact that the geographical poles do not coincide with the magnetic poles. Thus, the magnetic North pole actually lies in the geographical South Pole, and the magnetic South pole lies in the North geographical pole. So when the needle of the compass points to the northern magnetic pole, this pole is not in the geographical north, but on the opposite end. This is why none of the answers in the question are possible.
