Earths magnetic poles reverse approximately every years?
The process of the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is called a magnetic flip. This occurs every 4 or 5 times per million years.
What is a magnetic rock called?
Magnetic Earth rocks are those that contain magnetite.
What do you mean the south seeking pole in a magnet?
The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.
What is a magnetic force of a magnet called?
The magnetic force of a magnet is called magnetism.
What do the earths magnetic poles move around?
This happens about once every 50 to 100 thousand years and is called a magnetic reversal.It would appear that the self generated magnetic fields formed by rotating bodies all undergo pole reversals. For instance the Sun does this about every 11 years.
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is the magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is the Earth's magnetic field called?
The Magnetosphere
What is it called when earths magnetic poles change poles?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
Where is earths moon located?
earths moon is located basicly on the earths gravitational pull called the ionosphere which is the highest magnetic field of earth
What is that angle made by the earths magnetic field with a horizontal plane at a point on the earth?
It's called the Dip.
Earths magnetic poles reverse approximately every years?
The process of the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is called a magnetic flip. This occurs every 4 or 5 times per million years.
What is the name of the area surrounding earth that is influenced by earths magnetic fields?
The Earth's magnetic field is called the Magnetosphere. Loops of magnetic energy coupling the north and south pole that trap energetic subatomic particles are called the Van Allen belt.
What do you call magnets that come together?
it can be called oppisites because the north magnetic field and south magnetic field attract, or can be called attractions, because they attract
What is the name of the earth's satellite?
the earths satelite is called the moon but there are many different names
What is the angular difference between true North and magnetic North is called?
That's the "magnetic declination". Since the true north pole and the magnetic north pole are located at different points on the earth, the declination is a different angle in different places on earth.
What are mineral deposits beneath earths surface that are different from the surrounding rocks are called what?
These are called veins
