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 electrically conductive liquid iron is in constant motion, and when it moves through an existing weak magnetic field, that motion produces an electric current. The electric current in turn ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that ... “It both generates the magnetic field and drags it with it as well.” The location of the magnetic north pole was first discovered in 1831 ...

Scientists are on high alert due to recent observations regarding the North Pole. They explain that for centuries, this ...

However, the North Magnetic Pole has actually been moving ... so too does the North Pole’s location. Scientists say that the current direction of the pole’s movement is caused by a “blip ...

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location ... is mostly an extrapolation given our current knowledge of the Earth’s magnetic field.” The scientists released two models ...
