Magnetic North Pole's Rapid Shift Towards Russia Baffles Scientists
The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is shifting towards Russia at an unprecedented rate, posing potential risks to modern navigation systems reliant on magnetic orientation, such as smartphones and GPS devices. This rapid movement, now at 25 km/year, is linked to changes in Earth's outer core dynamics and solar activity, raising concerns about a possible pole reversal. Efforts to mitigate risks include frequent updates to the World Magnetic Model and increased research on Earth's core dynamics.
