The Earth's magnetic north pole is shifting. Research indicates it is moving from Canada toward Siberia. As reported by Sciencealert, scientists from NOAA and BGS have updated the position of the ...

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. The magnetic ...

It’s a bit confusing, but the north pole as far as the Earth’s magnetic field is concerned is a constantly-shifting point that has gradually moved along a relatively straight path from Canada ...

Since its discovery in 1831, magnetic north has shifted over 1,100 km, accelerating from 16 km/year to 55 km/year before suddenly slowing down in recent years. Magnetic pole flips happen randomly ...

Contrary to what one might believe, this does not mean that the geographic North Pole is moving, but rather the magnetic field is shifting, which should not be dangerous. Get your game on!

"The continuous shift is an issue for compasses in mobile phones and some consumer electronics. Aeroplanes and ships rely on magnetic north, generally as backup navigation,'' said geophysicist ...
