The Earth’s magnetism
The Earth behaves as if it contains a giant magnet. It produces a magnetic field in which the field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The Earth’s magnetic field affects the needles in compasses.
Emilio showed us a compass which comprises a magnetic needle mounted on a pivot (so it can turn freely) and a dial to show the direction.
