Now, a new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, reveals loggerhead turtles, the most abundant sea turtle species nesting in the United States, learn the magnetic fields of specific ...

the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...

Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic field lines converge. This field is generated by the churning of the planet’s outer core, a layer of molten iron ...

Swarm is a constellation of three satellites that study Earth's geomagnetic field. This magnetic field that extends from Earth's interior into space is thought to be produced largely by an ocean ...
