how does the declination change as you move north from where you live?

Are you talking about destination charge?  Thats a cost passed on to the consumer for transportation of the product from the plant where it was manufactured. If it was manuf'd in the south, then the transport cost will increase as you move north.

Polaris is always due north (duh!) and at an elevation equal to your latitude. So from LA, at 34° N latitude, Polaris will be 34° above your northern horizon. Remember that a compass does not point exactly north - in the LA area it points about 13° east of north.\n\nThe easiest way to locate Polaris is to follow a line through the two stars at the end of the Big Dippers Bowl.

Compass headings are figured in degrees clockwise from north.  First leg was 30 nm heading 270°.  The east/west part of the trip is 30 cos 270 = -30, the north/south part is 30 sin 270 = 0.  Second leg is 10 nm heading 15°.  east/west part is 10 sin 15 = 2.59, north/south part is 10 cos 15 = 9.66.  Add the 2 legs in separate parts.  You are now at a position 9.66 nm north and 27.41 nm west of port.  divide n/s by e/w to get the tangent of the angle: 9.66/27.41 = 0.3524 = tan 19.4°.  If you make a sketch while doing all this, the 19.4° is your reference angle in the northwest quadrant, so the compass heading from port to your position is 289.4°.  You could also write that as N 70.6° W.\n\nBelieve me, this is a whole lot simpler than navigating in 3 dimensions -- 4, actually, because your home planet isn't going to stay where you left it.

a compass tells you which way is north. once you know where north is you can tell in which directions south, east, and west is.

I havent a clue what your are asking... are we talking about astronomy terms?  Elevation and declination?  Or are you asting about Lattitude and Longitude?

you are farther from the equator.

That depends on which side of the planet you're on...

Because you live in the Southern Hemisphere...In the Northern Hemisphere it goes the other way. Look up the term 'Coriolis effect' for more info.

There is no right answer for this question. Just because the plates are moving and right now most of the land mass is in the northern hemisphere. That is just where the bulk of it is right now, and someday it will change.

Latitude is used to measure how far north or south a location is, based on its distance from the equator, which is the imaginary line (or circle) that runs around the earth, equally distant from the north and the south poles. (The Equator gets its name from being EQUAL distance apart from the poles). \n\nFrom the Equator to the north pole, the distance is broken into 90 degrees of measurement, and likewise, from the Equator to the South Pole.\n\nWhile the Equator and other "lines of latitude" help measure  north-south location, the lines themselves extend in the east-west direction as they represent every point on the earth that is that distance from the equator. These lines are often called PARALLELS, because they are all parallel to the equator. You can have a parallel at any measure of latitude, such as the 10 degrees north parallel or the 42 degrees south parallel. \n\nSome parallels have special names. Besides the Equator, there are four parallels which have significance for the earth's rotation and seasons. In the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Cancer is the line or circle of latitude that is 23.5 degrees north, and the Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north. In the southern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south, and the Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south. Because the earth's axis is at an angle to the sun, we have seasons, and these lines show where the sun's location will be or not be on particular seasonal changes. Use the first link to learn more about these lines.\n\nOther parallels have historical significance. When the Korean War ended in a stalemate, the country was divided into North and South Korea roughly along the 38th parallel (that means everything north of the 38 degrees north parallel belonged to North Korea, and everything south of  that parallel belonged to South Korea). In the 1800s, the 49th parallel (north) is what was used to determine the boundary between the United States and the British colony of Canada, west of the Great Lakes, and so most of the current US-Canada border is a line along the 49th parallel.\n\nAll lines (or circles) of latitude can be called parallels.

Going SIDEWAYS in the US? You mean BACKWARDS surely?

NO!  Normally yes, but right up near the MAGNETIC north OR the magnetic South, it varies.\n\nIf you are between the true north and the magnetic North, the end of the other needle can spin or point to the true North.

This can get quite complicated, but I do not think you want a complicated answer. \n\nThere is a force that magnets produce on each other. Like poles (two norths or two souths) repel, and opposite poles repel (one north and one south). \n\nThe forces caused by these magnetic force causes a torque to be applied to the suspended magnetic, overcoming the resistance of the string to twisting. This causes the magnetic to turn, and eventually align itself in the minimum energy position, aligned with the external magnetic field at that location, which in most places on the surface of the earth, points towards the north magnetic pole. \n\nThis is not always true, of course, because there are all kinds of complicated fine structure details to the local magnetic fields caused by buried magnetic materials nearby, such as magnetite. \n\nThe north magnetic pole is close to the geographic North pole, but not exactly the north pole, which is why in many places the compass reading has to be corrected by adding or subtracting a figure called the declination. The magnetic pole also migrates every year by a few miles, so the magnetic declination at any given location changes as a function of time as well.

Nowadays, with GPS and diving robots, it is possible to locate where exactly certain position markers are located. Every year, North America and Europe drift apart a few centimetres, and GPS coordinates will have to add another correction. Luckily, neither North America nor the Old World as isolated systems move that fast, so that the regionalized reference systems remain valid. But if you manage to measure a location each in America and Europe to the sub-centimetre, you will notice the change in the last digits of the raw GPS coordinates within very few years.

Where are you, Say to me so that I can tell you.\nIf you are in Riyahd or Kuwait in The Arabic Gulf it will be the time their minus three to give you the answer. If you are in Cario or Alexandria in Egypt you will sbtract the time their by two. To know the number you will subtract the time your country are in by, you need to count how many longitude lines are there after The Prime Meridian which, runs along Greenwich City near London in U.K, Every line to east +1, and every line to west -1. So see on a map The Prime Meridian, then count the longitude lines till you reach your city or country. USE THE RULE EXPLIANED IN THIS ANSWER! \nN.B: READ THE WHOLE ANSWER TO KNOW THE RULE!!!

If you find the latitude of the northernmost point and the latitude of a point directly south of that you can calculate it.  Multiply the difference in degrees by 60 to get the distance in nautical miles.  Then apply the conversion factors:  1 nautical mile = 1.152 statute miles and 1 statute mile = 1.609 kilometers.  Combined, that means to multiply the difference in longitude in degrees by 111.214.  (Use degrees and decimal degrees, not minutes and seconds).\n\nYou'll be pretty close with this method even though it assumes a spherical Earth.

You would have to be traveling in a car at about 30 km/h because the magnetic north pole moves.  So your compass would be shaking back and forth as the magnetic north pole "wobbles" as it moves towards siberia.\n\nIf the magnetic north pole had been stationary, then your needle would point straight down.  You can confirm this by holding a bar magnet underneath your compass.
