The implications of the magnetic north pole's shift extend to various technological applications that rely on the Earth's magnetic field, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite ...

For many species, the Earth’s magnetic field serves as a navigational guide ... on geomagnetic cues to find their way. A significant shift in magnetic poles could confuse these animals ...

But never fear — this shape-shifting won’t directly affect life on Earth. Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, scientists said Wednesday.

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...
