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.
While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the WMM pinpoints ...
Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...
But not long ago someone made the discovery that the North Pole is not the only starting point that satisfies the given ...
The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's molten core. Scientists use the World Magnetic Model to monitor this ...
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.
the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...
"The current behavior of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before." For decades, scientists have been tracking the shift in Earth's magnetic north pole away from Canada and ...
The Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly inching its way across the Arctic for decades, but recently, its path […] The ...
