Magnetic north has been anything but predictable. After centuries of slow wandering, the pole suddenly sped up in the 1990s, clocking 50–60 kilometers per year. The swift pace baffled scientists ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ... the pole’s motion has recently slowed. This wandering behavior is driven by turbulent flows of molten iron in Earth’s ...

North Pole, doesn’t actually point at the north magnetic pole at all. It’s a bit confusing, but the north pole as far as the Earth’s magnetic field is concerned is a constantly-shifting ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is moving east, which is interesting but not unusual. What's unusual is how fast it is moving. At 55 kilometres a year, the pole is racing east at a pace faster ...

Based on the most up-to-date models, the Magnetic North Pole (MNP) is continuing on its trajectory towards Russia. Not to be confused with the Geographic North Pole, sometimes called “True North ...

Like bar magnets, Earth has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole. The lines of Earth’s magnetic field point from one pole to the other. When the solar wind approaches Earth ...

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, sometimes taking 10,000 to ...
