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.
What else can I help you with?
Where on earth is there evidence Global Warming?
At the poles we see that the icecaps seen to be melting.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
No, Earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are not in the same place. The geographic poles are the points where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, while the magnetic poles are where the planet's magnetic field lines converge and enter/exit the Earth. The magnetic poles are constantly moving and can deviate from the geographic poles.
Which specific structure must separate during anaphase in order for sister chromatids to begin moving toward opposite poles?
During anaphase, the centromere must separate for sister chromatids to start moving towards opposite poles. This separation allows each chromatid to be pulled to the poles by the spindle fibers attached to the centromere.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
How Air moving from the poles toward the equator turns west. The primary cause of this global deflection is?
The coreolis effect.
What evidence is there that the magnetic poles are stil moving?
The change can be measured and needs to be allowed for when making calculations in navigation.
Where is there evidence of ozone depletion?
There is evidence over the poles. There is an ozone hole there.
Where on the moon is there evidence of the existence of ice?
Evidence of frozen water are near the poles
How do scientists know the poles of the earth are moving?
a compass
First evidence of ice at the poles?
25,000,000 years ago.
How have the earth's magnetic poles moved over in the last couple of centuries?
it is moving in clock-wise direction from the poles
What evidence supports the theory of Earth's rotation?
The theory of Earth's rotation is supported by several pieces of evidence. One key piece of evidence is the Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects on Earth to curve due to the planet's rotation. Another piece of evidence is the difference in day and night caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis. Additionally, the flattening of the Earth at the poles and bulging at the equator is also evidence of Earth's rotation.

How do electromagnets work in a motor?
The poles of the electromagnet are repelled and attracted to the poles of the field magnet in the motor, causing it to spin a commutator or rotor in the motor. A brush flips the poles to keep the electromagnet spinning and the rotor moving.
Is the air moving up or down at north and south poles?
In general, weather continues to move from west to east, even at the poles, because of the rotation of the earth.
