After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth’s North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from ...

The rapid movement of Earth’s magnetic north pole has puzzled scientists in recent years, as it has shifted from its usual position in the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia. This phenomenon, which has ...

The magnetic North Pole is a point through which Earth's magnetic field converges and it continues changing according to the planet's change in its molten core. In 1831, a pole was identified in ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

Scientists have shed new light on the timing and likely cause of major volcanic events that occurred millions of years ago and caused such climatic and biological upheaval that they drove some of the ...

The rotation of Earth’s solid inner core may have recently paused relative to the mantle and crust and now appears to be reversing direction, Nikk Ogasa reported in “Earth’s inner core may ‘reverse’ ...
