Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, refer to the movement of Earth's magnetic north and south poles. Unlike the geographic poles, which are fixed, magnetic poles ...

On Dec. 17, the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model, a prediction for how Earth's ...

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 magnetic north pole is not in the same location as the geographic north pole, which is located 1,300 miles away.

Magnetic pole flips happen randomly, sometimes taking 10,000 to 50 million years. The last full reversal, the Brunhes–Matuyama event, occurred 780,000 years ago. Around 41,000 years ago ...

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.

Have you ever played with a magnet and stuck it in a sandy wash? It will pick up lots of black stuff. Some call it black sand; some might think ...

The World Magnetic Model predicts shifts in Earth's magnetic field using data from satellites like ESA’s Swarm mission. Milk genes Neanderthals? New study reveals a surprising ancestral twist ...

When a magnet repels, it pushes another magnet away. A magnet has opposite ends called a north pole and a south pole. Between the poles is a magnetic force that we can’t see. This is a non ...

However, a magnet may be attracted to or repelled from another magnet. For example, bringing a north pole and a north pole together will cause the magnets to push away from each other or repel.
