Earth's Magnetic North Pole Marching Toward Siberia At 37 Miles Per Year
Linda Young - AHN Editor
Paris, France (AHN) - A mysterious force is moving the Earth's north magnetic pole and no one is sure what is happening to cause changes to the magnetic core of this planet. All scientists know is that the north magnetic pole is marching toward Siberia at the speed of 37 miles per year.
But here is how Arnaud Chulliat explains what is going on. Chulliat is a geophysicist at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris.
Chulliat says that although no one can get close enough to the Earth's core to detect its magnetic field directly, that scientists can analyze data and make assumptions. He said that newly analyzed data suggests there is a region on the Earth's core that is experiencing rapid changes in magnetism. Scientist think it is being caused by a mysterious plume of magnetism that is coming from deep inside the core.
It is that region that might be pulling the magnetic pole away from its long-time position in northern Canada, Chulliat says.
Whatever it is, it is unlikely to stop. So people will need to make allowances when they pull their compasses out to orient themselves, scientists say.
Scientists first found the magnetic north pole in 1831 and it pretty much stayed put until 1904 when it started moving northeastward at about 9 miles per year. However, in 1989, it sped up more and in 2009, scientists confirmed that it was moving at 37 miles per year toward Russia.
