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

And there's the magnetic North Pole, which is always on the move. And right now it's moving faster than usual. Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles ...

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.

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.

The magnetic south pole is moving far slower than the north. In general Earth’s magnetic field is getting weaker, leading scientists to say that it will eventually flip, where north and south ...

You might be scared if you heard Earth’s North Pole and South Pole were about to flip positions. The sun is about to do the same thing, and it’s not a worry for us. The sun is a big magnetic ...
