Answer:

2) Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic south pole.

3) Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.

5) The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic south pole.

Hope this helped:)

It doesn't. It points to the Earth's MAGNETIC pole. There's only a very small part of the Earth's surface where the geographic pole is in exactly the same direction, and there are places where there's a huge difference. For example, I've worked in parts of Alaska where compasses point WEST !

How to tell if something is an electrolyte
schepotkina [342]

Answer: If it has ions, it is an electrolyte

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that electrolytes are compounds that contain charged particles or<u> ions</u>, which can be cations (positive ions) or anions (negative ions).

So, it is this composition that makes an electrolytic material conduct electricity.

In this sense, the way to identify if a material is an electrolyte or not, is knowing whether it is composed of ions or not.

What are the two sources of earth's internal heat energy
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Hey

Your answer would be Radioactive Decay and Heat of formation.

When earth first formed it was very violant. Some planetary scientists believe that the moon was created from a collision involving earth and Thea (a theoretical dwarf planet). these collisions that have formed earth heated it so much that it is still hot from them.

Radioactivce decay is another major fource of internal heat for earth.
