Concerns has been raised due to the rapidly movement of the Earth’s magnetic North Pole towards Russia in a swift manner with scientists noticing its swift movement over recent decades.
The magnetic North Pole was formerly moving at the speed of 15 km/h between 1990 and 2005. This shift was tracked by professionals across the globe with the claim that it has important implications for GPS and even protect radiation.
While it is no news that the fixed geographical North Pole remains constant, the magnetic North Pole is gradually changing and this swift movement towards Siberia has generated a lot of concerns.
British scientists have continued to document the Earth’s magnetic North Pole shift over the past few centuries and have recorded about 2,250 kilometers from Canada toward Russia.
While the shift is not stopping soon, scientists has revealed that it might probably affect compasses and other navigation tools in 16 years to come. The soft movement of this pole may cause challenges to GPS, and radiation protection that depends on the World Magnetic Model for exact readings.
The swift movement has raised concerns for provision of updated technologies and building of systems to that will prevent the likely danger on both environment and technology.
