  • Magnetic compass does not point to a geographic pole, but to the magnetic pole.
  • During the World War II, compasses were smuggled to the prisoners of war in German camps in the form of buttons and razor blades to help prisoners escape.
  • Magnetic North Pole is actually magnetic south pole and vice versa.

    1) The airspeed indicator or airspeed gauge is an instrument used in an aircraft to display the craft's airspeed, typically in knots
    2) The airspeed indicator (ASI) is used by the pilot during all phases of flight, from take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing in order to maintain airspeed
    3) The airspeed indicator is also used in dead reckoning, where time, speed, and bearing are used for navigation in the absence of aids such as NDBs, VORs or GPS.

    The magnetic North Pole is a spot on Earth where the magnetic field points vertically downward. 
    • The north tip of a compass points to the north pole.
    • It is not the coldest place on the earth.
    • There has been hot seasons in the north pole.

It's interesting how there are two types of 'contour lines', but they are two totally different things.

    1. The closer the contour lines
    are to one another, the steeper the rise or drop in elevation
    2.  Maps specify elevations with
    contour lines
    3. Contour lines are lines on a map
