North magnetic pole - Wikipedia
WEBThe north magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic north pole, is a point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downward (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate in three dimensions, it will point straight down).
The north magnetic pole just changed. Here's what that means.
WEBFeb 4, 2019 · Magnetic north is one of three “north poles” on our globe. First, there's true north, which is the northern end of the axis on which our planet turns. But our planet's protective magnetic...
Earth’s magnetic field
WEBSatellite data (including those from ESA's Swarm mission) show the north magnetic pole moving rapidly towards Siberia due to two magnetic blobs at Earth's outer core edge. Fluctuations in molten material flow cause changes in magnetic strength, leading to its ongoing drift for decades.
Why is Earth’s magnetic north pole drifting so rapidly?
WEBMay 19, 2020 · Magnetic north was drifting at a rate of up to about 9 miles (15 km) a year. Since the 1990s, however, the drift of Earth’s magnetic north pole has turned into “more of a sprint,” scientists say....
