What recent evidence is there that the poles are moving?
Ok, lets clear this up once and for all. The North and South Geographic Poles are not moving.What is moving are the North and South Magnetic Poles, which is something entirely different.A Magnetic Pole is the point on the Earth's surface at which the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards. So it does not matter very much if these points move, which they have done many times over the Earths history.A Geographic Pole is defined as the imaginary point on the Earths surface, where the Earth's axis of rotation meets the Earth's surface. While these points do move around a few metres, due to Earth's spin wobble, it is nothing to be alarmed about.For the geographical poles to move, something pretty catastrophic will have to happen, ie an asteroid strike.So all the 'doom merchants' and 'the end is nigh supporters' out there will once again have egg on their faces, until they find the next thing to support.
In which form do many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface?
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
What is the difference between the geographic North and the magnetic North pole?
The Earth's geographic poles are the points 90 degrees north and south of the Equator at which all lines of longitude intersect. The Earth also has magnetic poles near these points with which compass needles align themselves. The south magnetic pole is off Wilkes Land, Antarctica, about 1,710 miles from the geographic South Pole. The north magnetic pole is on Ellef Ringnes Island in northern Canada, about 870 miles from the geographic North Pole.
How many magnetic poles does the earth have?
Exactly 2. The North Pole, and the South Pole.
How many poles does a horseshoe magnet have?
It has 2 poles. They are the North and South Poles.
Earths magnetic poles reverse approximately every how many years?
250,000 years
How have Earths magnetic poles reversed many times during Earths history?
Earth's magnetic poles have reversed many times in the past due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core. As the molten metal moves, it generates the Earth's magnetic field. Over time, this movement can cause the magnetic field to weaken, flip, and establish a new polarity. The process of pole reversals is a natural part of the Earth's geophysical history.
What is happening to earths magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is weakening in strength, particularly in the South Atlantic region. This weakening has been observed over the past few centuries. Scientists believe this weakening is a natural process and could be a sign that the Earth's magnetic poles are preparing to reverse.

How many north poles are their?
2 geographic and magnetic
How many types of poles are there?
Two. Magnetic north and true north.
How many poles does Jupiter's magnetosphere have?
Jupiter's magnetosphere has a complex magnetic field with multiple poles. Unlike the Earth, which has a relatively simple dipole magnetic field, Jupiter's magnetic field is generated by a combination of its internal dynamo and interactions with its moons.
In which form do many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface?
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
How many magnetic poles are on earth?

How many mantle plumes are on earths surface?
