The geographical North Pole is not moving.

The magnetic north pole is constantly moving because of the shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. Currently, it is moving towards Russia at a rate of 64km a year, or almost 40 miles a year.

With each line of latitude you cross moving from the north pole you get nearer the?

If you are moving away from the North Pole and crossing lines of Latitude, you are heading for the Equator, and ultimately the South Pole.


Are the magnetic north pole and the geographic north p0le are not in the same location?

They are not.In 2015, the magnetic north pole is about 255 miles from the geographic north pole,and is moving toward Russia at about 35 miles per year.The south magnetic pole is even more weird. That one is about 1,780 miles from thegeographic south pole, and moving northwest at about 20 miles per year.Notice that the north and south magnetic poles are NOT directly opposite each otheron the Earth's surface.


What direction is the earth moving?

The Earth is constantly moving in several ways. It rotates on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole) and it orbits around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.


Where in the world can you hike 5 miles north 5 miles east and then 5 miles south?

You can hike 5 miles north, 5 miles east, and then 5 miles south and end up at your starting point at the North Pole. This is because moving north from the North Pole takes you directly away from it, then moving east makes a circular path around the pole, and finally moving south returns you back to the starting point. Additionally, there are locations near the South Pole in certain configurations where this is also possible, specifically near the latitude where walking 5 miles east would complete a full circle around the pole.


Are the magnetic pole and the geographic north pole always the same distance apart?

The Geographic Poles are fixed at the earth's axis of rotation. The Magnetic Poles are located within a few hundred kilometres, but wander. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North (the location) is south, which is why it attracts the north pole of a compass needle.


How do earths motion effect seasons at the north pole?

because of the motion of the earth the north pole sheds its ice around it which makes the ice always moving. thus why no country has a station researching there


All of the lines of force around a magnet?

These are known as magnetic field lines, which show the direction and strength of the magnetic field. They form loops around the magnet, moving from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet and from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet.

True or False The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is in the same place as the North Pole?

False. The Earth's magnetic fields are constantly shifting, and have been at widely different points over the Earth's history. The North Pole (geographic) is defined by the Earth's spin, and does not appreciably change over millions of years.
