What occurs when two magnets pool towards each other?

When two magnets are brought close together, they exert magnetic forces on each other. If the opposite poles (north and south) are facing each other, they will attract and pull together. Conversely, if like poles (north-north or south-south) are facing each other, they will repel and push away from each other. This interaction is due to the alignment of magnetic fields generated by the magnets.
