The magnetic north pole is once again on the move—this time inching ever closer to Siberia. Scientists have updated the World Magnetic Model as the magnetic north pole shifts closer to Siberia ...
The magnetic North Pole is a point through which Earth's magnetic field converges and it continues changing according to the planet's change in its molten core.
Scientists have monitored the magnetic north pole for centuries. The World Magnetic Model (WMM) predicts its future position.
The magnetic north pole’s movement, which has suddenly accelerated toward Siberia this century, raises questions about what’s driving the unusual shift and why its motion matters.
British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed and is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago.
Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.
Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion.
The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static.
Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey announced the Magnetic North Pole has a new position.
