North Seeking
North Seeking refers to the ability of a compass to find true north. A compass consists of a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards magnetic north. Since the magnetic north is not exactly the same as true north (the geographic North Pole), navigators often need to adjust their direction when using a compass. North Seeking is crucial for navigation as it helps individuals and explorers accurately determine their orientation and ensure they are heading in the right direction, especially when traversing unfamiliar terrain.
