28 lis 2023 · The historical movement of these poles indicates a change in the global geometry of the Earth's magnetic field. It may even indicate the beginning of a field reversal – a "flip" between the north and south magnetic poles.
5 maj 2020 · Using data from satellites that have measured the evolving shape of Earth's magnetic field over the past 20 years, Dr Livermore and colleagues have attempted to model the North Magnetic...
The 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).
28 mar 2016 · As Earth's magnetic field varies over time, the positions of the North and South Magnetic Poles gradually change. Magnetic declination —the angle between magnetic North and true North—at a given location also changes over time.
Owing to the motion of fluid in the Earth's outer core, the actual magnetic poles are constantly moving (secular variation). However, over thousands of years, their direction averages to the Earth's rotation axis.

Like its northern counterpart, the south magnetic pole also experiences constant shifts due to changes in Earth's magnetic field. It moves north-westward at a rate of approximately 10 to 15 kilometres per year and is currently about 2,860 kilometres away from the actual Geographic South Pole.
