magnetic North and true North are different because of the wobble. Earth doesn't rotate in a circle, it wobbles making magnetic north (which is the true north) different from the spot on a map that someone says is north. It's been doing that for OH, 4 billion years. about the same time earth was tilted off axis slightly which , by the way, is why we have seasons.
Im so smart.
