New research has uncovered that the construction of water dams has shifted Earth's poles in subtle but important ways.

New research suggests that the thousands of dams built over the past two centuries have caused the Earth's poles to drift ...

According to USA Today, the magnetic North Pole is not only moving, it's moving quickly.British scientists have been tracking the change, and they've discovered that the pole has been making a ...

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.

Like most planets in our solar system, the Earth has its own magnetic field. Thanks to its largely molten iron core, our planet is in fact a bit like a bar magnet. It has a north and south ...

Earth's main magnetic field is generated in the planet's outer core, a layer of molten iron 2,2001,800-3,100 miles (2,890-5,000 kilometers) below the planet's surface.

The New Location Of Earth's Magnetic North Pole On Monday, the World Magnetic Model updated their official location of the magnetic north. The model is typically updated every five years and was ...

Subsequent expeditions, and global observations from both Earth's surface and space, allow a reconstruction of the history of the north magnetic pole. Prior to 1990, the north magnetic pole moved ...

Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the planet’s iron-rich core. Like all magnetics it has a north and south pole. Their exact position on the Earth’s surface depends on how the field is bent and ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.
