Part of this result is likely due to the institutions attended by students from LMI tracts and the level of education they seek. In LMI tracts, many choose community colleges with lower tuition levels. Conditional on having a degree, a higher percentage of students have an associateâs degree.
The compass needle points toward the north magnetic pole. That place is close enough to the earth's geographic north pole so that over much of the. earth, the magnetic compass indication can be a useful approximation of true north.
How to compensate for magnetic declination when reading a compass. In this example, the declination is 14Â°E (+14Â°), so the compass card points to a north 14 degrees to the East of true North. To obtain a true bearing, add 14 degrees to the bearing shown by the compass.
