If opposite poles repel each other,
why does the north end of a compass point to
the North Pole? Explain your reasoning.

The earth's magnetic field causes a compass to point north, (cuz as we know)  compasses are powered by magnets. The magnets inside compasses are drawn to the magnetic North Pole, which is about 1,000 miles south of the actual North Pole. Therefore, even though a compass always points north, it does not always point toward the true north.
