The US National Centers for Environmental Information and the British Geological Survey have presented an updated version of the World Magnetic Model, which predicts changes in the Earth's magnetic field for the next five years. According to new data, the North Magnetic Pole has shifted.
This was reported by Live Science.
The model is important for navigation systems, in particular for satellite and aeronautical navigation, as well as for orientation using smartphones.
According to scientists, the model is regularly updated to ensure the accuracy of navigation systems and predict the behavior of the magnetic field. The new version shows that the North Magnetic Pole has shifted from the Canadian Arctic towards Siberia.
The Earth's magnetic field is created in the planet's outer core, where the mobile…
