The Earth's Magnetic North Pole, where the magnetic field lines become oriented vertically, moves constantly due to the drift in the Earth's magnetic field. In 2005, the Magnetic North Pole was located at 82.7°N by 114.4°W. To find the magnitudal 2-D land displacement (distance) from the Magnetic North Pole to the True North Pole, multiply the difference between the Magnetic North Pole's latitude (+82.7) and 90 degrees, by 60 nautical miles. (Or: [90-82.7 = 7.3] × 60 = 438 nautical miles). That value was correct for 2005, but keep in mind that any latitudinal shift in the position of the Magnetic North Poll indicates a change in distance between the two.

The magnetic pole is located around 450 kilometers (280 miles) away from the geographic North Pole. However, the position of the magnetic pole can shift over time due to changes in Earth's magnetic field.

∙ 7y agoThe North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
The North Magnetic Pole is currently at about 83 degrees N latitude and 116 degrees W longitude.
The North Magnetic Pole is currently located in the Arctic Ocean north of Canada and is moving north west at an average of 10 km per year since 1903.
In the last couple of years, this movement has speeded up, it is now moving towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year. Scientists believe that this is caused by an upwelling of magnetism in the Earth's molten core. They have no idea how long this could last, if it will stop or even if it might reverse itself.
There is a difference of about 500 kilometres between the Geographic North and Magnetic North poles.

∙ 15y agoThe North Magnetic Pole is located at about 82.7° North and 114.4° West in 2005 (northwest of Sverdrup Island). However it's not there anymore. Since it was discovered in 1831 it has moved hundreds of kilometers from where it is now.
The average center point of the North Magnetic Pole moves up to 40 km a year more or less towards the west, but it also circles about its average center point at up to 80km/day.

Which is The place that is far away from the equator?
The poles (North Pole and South Pole) are the farthest points from the equator on Earth.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?
In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.
How far is Norislk from the North Pole in kilometers?
Norilsk is approximately 3,252 kilometers away from the North Pole.
What is the name of the two far end poles of magnet?
The farthest ends of a magnet are called the north pole and the south pole. These poles are where the magnetic field lines enter and exit the magnet, respectively.
Which is The place that is far away from the equator?
The poles (North Pole and South Pole) are the farthest points from the equator on Earth.
How far is the magnetic south pole from the geographic north pole?
Half the world away (8000 miles as a neutrino would fly, 12,500 miles as a bird would fly.)
If you follow a compass pointing north will you reach the geographic north pole?
No. You will reach to the North Magnetic Pole instead, which is a fair distance from the True North Pole, as the magnet always points North due to Earth's magnetic fields. The distance between the two North Poles are also changing, as Earth's magnetic fields will turn. The current South Pole will be the next North Magnetic Pole in the far future.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?
In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.
Are earths magnetic poles and it geographic poles in the same place?
No. As far as I remember geographic north pole is on the northern most part of the world and the magnetic north pole is a little to the off from the direct north (I don't remember how far or which direction). To add to the above correct answer, the earth's magnetic north pole is currently situated about 1600 km (1000 miles) distant from it's geographic pole, and is in the vincinity of Bathurst Island in Canada's north. For unknown reasons it shifts somewhat over time, but does not consistently shift in the same direction. Naturally, so does the south magnetic pole.
How far is Norislk from the North Pole in kilometers?
Norilsk is approximately 3,252 kilometers away from the North Pole.
Why is the north pole cold?
because its so far away from the equator
Does a compass point true north magnetic north or at the north pole?
North Star points at True North, you can use a compass and north star to see how far off magnetic north is from your location. .
How far away are chinstrap penguins from the north pole?
A long way, they are much closer to the South Pole.
What is the name of the two far end poles of magnet?
The farthest ends of a magnet are called the north pole and the south pole. These poles are where the magnetic field lines enter and exit the magnet, respectively.
How far has the magnetic north pole moved since 1831?
The magnetic north pole has moved approximately 1,400 miles (2,250 kilometers) since 1831. It is currently drifting at a faster rate towards Russia from the Canadian Arctic.
