Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auroral displays, such as the Northern and Southern Lights, are most often seen in circular regions around the north and south geomagnetic poles. These regions are known as the auroral ovals. The geomagnetic poles differ from the geographical poles and are the points where the planet's magnetic field lines enter and exit the Earth.
