Earth’s magnetic North Pole is shifting from Canada to Siberia due to changes in the flow of molten iron and nickel in the outer core. This movement has accelerated in recent years, impacting ...

Every so often, Earth's magnetic poles completely flip. What causes this to happen? And how do these reversals affect life on Earth?

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Scientists have discovered that the 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing, allowing harmful radiation to come closer to our planet's surface. The region, known as the South Atlantic ...

Secular variation refers to gradual changes in the Earth’s magnetic field over durations shorter than those between polarity flips. These variations can be observed in the orientation and ...

The Earth's magnetic north pole is racing towards Siberia—and it is following an "unusual" and historically unprecedented path on its way. Experts told Newsweek that the pole could reach the ...

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.

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency, ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a crucial role in this process, guiding them in the right direction. But what truly puzzles researchers is how the birds know when it’s time to stop.

Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on the planet, but it isn’t something that we can typically see or hear. It’s basically a shield that protects the planet from the cosmic ...
