When the Earth's Magnetic Poles swap?

Where are earths magnetic poles?

  • where are earths magnetic poles?

  • Answer:

    I believe the N. Mangetic Pole is amongst the Queen Elizabeth Islands in northern Canada, maybe Ellesmere or Devon Island. The S. Magnetic Pole is probably on or near the Antarctic coast. This "magnet" is perhaps where the earth is vertical or perpendicular 2 it's orbit. The geographic poles, at 90° N & 90° S, r I think where the earth's rot8n' axis is. (Incidentally, u can probably b @ the geographic N. Pole & your compass would still guide u 2 the magnetic poll.) The geographic axis is @ a angle, so the Earth appears tilted in orbit. Thus, the magnet & the geographic axis gives us our tropical, temperate, & polar zones (separated by the Ant-/Arctic Circles & Tropix of Cancer/Capricorn) & four seasons on different hemispheres.

they are not where you'de think. they wander from day to day. chk the u.s.navy websites for location.they have a great time cart where the sun moves across the planet, as night falls...plus realtime shots of the planet from a satellite. oddly enough, north korea is dark..and south korea is well lite. well i guess thats communism for ya....dim bulbs!!!

The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is the wandering point on the Earth's surface at which the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards. As of 2005 the North Magnetic Pole lay near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at 82.7° N 114.4° W. The Earth's South Magnetic Pole is the wandering point on the Earth's surface where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards. For historical reasons, the "end" of a magnet that points (roughly) north is itself called the "north pole" of the magnet, and the other end, pointing south, is called magnet's "south pole". Because it is unlike poles that attract, the Earth's South Magnetic Pole is physically actually a magnetic north pole. The South Magnetic Pole is constantly shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. As of 2005 it was calculated to lie at 64°32′S 137°52′E / -64.53, 137.86 , just off the coast of Wilkes Land, Antarctica. It is moving north west by about 10 to 15 kilometers per year.

They are NEAR the North and South poles.

close to but not exactly at the North and South Poles

The magnetic poles are the two positions on the Earth's surface where the magnetic field is entirely vertical. Another way of saying this is that the inclination of the Earth's field is 90° at the North Magnetic Pole and -90° at the South Magnetic Pole.The locations of the magnetic poles are not static but they wander as much as 15 km every year . The two poles wander independently of each other and are not at directly opposite positions on the globe. Currently the magnetic south pole is farther from the geographic south pole than the magnetic north pole is from the geographic north pole.
