The magnetic north pole, meanwhile, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where Earth's magnetic field lines point directly into the planet. The complex motion of the outer core causes the ...

Magnetic north is not fixed like its geographic counterpart, the North Pole. Instead, it meanders, driven by the roiling motion of molten metals in Earth’s outer core. This relentless churn ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it ...

The World Magnetic Model predicts shifts in Earth's magnetic field using data from satellites like ESA’s Swarm mission. Milk genes Neanderthals? New study reveals a surprising ancestral twist ...

Dr. Arnaud Chulliat, a senior research scientist at the University of Colorado, highlights that delays in updating the World Magnetic Model can amplify navigation errors. Dr. William Brown ...

A magnet has opposite ends called a north pole and a south pole. Between the poles is a magnetic force that we can’t see. This is a non-contact force. The area around the magnet that is affected ...
