True or false

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth's south pole and the magnetic south are not the sole cause but an important element to why Earth is a magnet. "The south magnetic pole is the point on Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards. The Geomagnetic South Pole, a related point, is the south pole of an ideal dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field that most closely fits the Earth's actual magnetic field."
