which differ from the geographical poles. The best-known are the dip poles—regions where the magnetic field points directly into the ground. The north and south dip poles do not necessarily have ...

This article was originally published on Nov. 18, 2014. From the Northern Lights, to the magnetic impact the North Pole has on a compass, this region has always fascinated human kind. Many explorers ...

The geomagnetic pole is the location which best fits a classic dipole (its position alters little). And then there is the North Magnetic, or dip, Pole, which is where field lines are perpendicular ...

In the Arctic Ocean, at a location known as the north magnetic dip pole, the needle of a compass held in the horizontal plane has no preferred orientation. At this location, if a compass needle ...

There he found the spot where his compass dipped almost vertically — indicating the magnetic north pole, also known as the magnetic dip pole. The magnetic pole was last visited in person in 2007 ...

"So I cannot say whether the dip pole will ever reach Siberia as it might stop and reverse in a decade's time." Do you have a tip on a science story that Newsweek should be covering? Do you have a ...

The geomagnetic pole is the location which best fits a classic dipole (its position alters little). And then there is the North Magnetic, or dip, Pole, which is where field lines are perpendicular ...

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. As of this month, the distance between the magnetic dip pole and the geographic pole is about ...
