Our planet’s gymnastics routine continues underneath our feet nearly every day, but researchers recently mapped what they say ...

Boldly etched into the flow of solidifying lava across Earth, the Matuyama-Brunhes event is used by geologists as a marker of ...

However, some signs — such as the North Pole's current migration across the Bering Sea area and the magnetic field itself weakening nearly 10% over the past 170 years — suggest that a flip may ...

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole. We now know that ...

It has a north and south magnetic pole, separate from the geographic poles, Like most planets in our solar system, the Earth has its own magnetic field. Thanks to its largely molten iron core, our ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, and (given the time of year) Santa's sleigh: the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing ...

Earth's north magnetic pole is on the ... that the current representation of the entire globe's magnetic field, just updated in 2015, is now out of ... as they last did about 780,000 years ago.

Although the current South Atlantic Anomaly is weird, the magnetic field at 49,000 and 46,000 years ago had similar structures, without any extreme event following.

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field dropped to just 10% of its current level, while the magnetic poles wandered far from their usual locations. For about 300 years, the magnetic fi ...

In fact, 565 million years ago, Earth's magnetic field was over 10 times weaker than what it is today — the weakest ever documented. Further, the measurements showed that the frequency of north ...

The south magnetic pole is also moving, though at a much slower rate (10-15km a year). This rapid wandering of the north magnetic pole has caused some problems for scientists and navigators alike.
