North Magnetic Pole

The North Magnetic Pole is a special place in the northern part of the Earth where a powerful magnet pulls the needles of a compass towards it. This is special because all around the world, when people use a compass, it always points to the North Magnetic Pole. This is different from the North Pole, which is the furthest point north on the Earth. The North Magnetic Pole is constantly moving, but it is always in the northern part of the world.
