Answer:
detecting magnetic field
Explanation:
A compass is designed to detect this magnetic field. It consists of a small, lightweight magnet -- typically called a needle and marked "N" for north -- that balances on a friction-free pivot. The needle aligns itself so that one end points toward Earth's magnetic north pole.

Answer:
magnetic field
Explanation:
A compass needle aligns itself and points toward the top of Earth's magnetic field, giving explorers and lost souls a consistent sense of direction. Hold the compass horizontally in front of you with the direction of the travel arrow pointing away from you. Use this arrow to guide you to your destination. Turn your body until the north end of the magnetic needle is aligned with the orienting needle, and you'll be properly oriented toward the destination on the map.
