Geographic north ... 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 ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

The Earth acts like a giant bar magnet, with a magnetic north and south pole. Confusingly, these are not in the same place as the geographic north (True North) and south pole. In fact, they ...

Auroras are possible over the U.S. tonight (March 25) as a "moderate" geomagnetic storm hits Earth. The Northern Lights could ...

Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result in no distinct north or south magnetic poles.

Earth’s magnetic poles are constantly on the move, but they haven’t drifted far enough to actually flip in the modern age. Researchers know that Earth’s poles have flipped in the past ...

Recent observations reveal that Earth's magnetic poles are gradually drifting. Until the 1990s, the North Pole moved at about 15 kilometers per year. However, the rate has accelerated to 55 ...

Earth's magnetic field is what protects our planet from harmful space radiation. However, our protective shield might soon go into a transformation that could threaten the lives on Earth.

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 ...
