alleryThe Earth behaves as a magnet with its field pointing approximately from geographic:
ANorth to the east
BWest to the south
CSouth to north
DEast to the west
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. South to north
1. The Earth has its own magnetic field.
2. Its direction relative to the geographic poles is stated.
3. The Earth behaves as a magnet with the field pointing approximately from geographic south to north.
4. So the answer is south to north.
