What else can I help you with?
Are the earth's magnectic poles fading?
No, but the poles will shift in about 100,000 years.
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Why don't the Earth's geographic poles coincide with the magnetic poles?
The geographic poles and magnetic poles of the Earth are different because they are determined by different factors. The geographic poles are the points on the Earth's surface where its axis of rotation intersects, while the magnetic poles are based on the Earth's magnetic field generated by its core. The movement of molten iron in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field, which can cause the magnetic poles to shift and not align perfectly with the geographic poles.
How is the polar shift affecting the earth?
One hypothesis relating to polar shift is known as the cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis. It states that the shift in geographical locations of the poles is causing floods and tectonic events such as earthquakes.
True or false the magnetic poles are not located exactly at the geographic poles?
True. The magnetic poles move constantly.
Did the shift take place on 21.12.2012?
No, the shift of the Poles (even the magnetic Poles) did not take place on 12dec12.
How are positions in geographic compared to magnetic poles?
Geographic poles refer to the Earth's axis points where it meets the surface (North and South Poles), while magnetic poles refer to points where the Earth's magnetic field is the strongest. These poles do not align exactly; the geographic poles are fixed, while the magnetic poles can shift position over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Will the North and South poles shift 2012?
Nope, Polar Shift is all hypothesis and conjecture. The scientific community is not even sure that it has ever happen here on Earth.
Is it true that only the magnetic poles wander?
No, both the magnetic poles and the geographic poles can exhibit movement over time. The magnetic poles, which are associated with the Earth's magnetic field, wander due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core. Meanwhile, the geographic poles can shift slightly due to factors like tectonic activity and the redistribution of Earth's mass, such as melting ice caps. Thus, both types of poles can experience movement, albeit for different reasons.
What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?
The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.
Is there any possibility that poleshift wont have any effect on earth?
If the magnetic poles shift that means that the Earth has been affected. If there are other effects that are a result of the magnetic pole shift is a matter of debate (mostly how quickly the shift takes place). If the Earth is without a magnetic field for some time ( I do not know the time frame days weeks years decades or millenia) then some things will be affected as the magnetic field channels charged particles towards the poles and keeps the Van Allen belts in place.
Could the pyramids have been tried to be used when the poles shift?
no
