The geomagnetic pole refers to the points on the Earth's surface where the planet's magnetic field lines are vertical. These poles are not fixed and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. The geomagnetic poles are different from the geographic poles, which are based on the Earth's rotation. The location of the geomagnetic poles is important for navigation and understanding the Earth's magnetic environment. They influence phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis, which occur near the poles due to interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field.
