    Magnetic compass
Description:
Walkers and sailors use magnetic compasses to find their way. The needle of a compass lines up with the Earth's magnetic field, and always points north-south. The Earth's magnetism is thought to be caused by currents in its molten iron core. The needle of the compass is suspended in fluid.
