Magnetic Poles (Of The Earth)
Magnetic Poles (Of The Earth) :
correspond to a point on the Earth’s surface where the magnetic inclination is observed to be +90º and -90º, respectively. The North Pole and the South Pole are not exactly opposite each other and their positions wander with time due to changes in the geomagnetic dynamo in the Earth core. As of 2005 the position of the North Pole was calculated to lie at 82.7° N and 114.4° W, and that of the South Pole at 64.5º S and 137.7º E. See Merrill et al. (1998). See geomagnetic poles
