Chat with our AI personalities
Apparent polar wander paths are the tracks on the Earth's surface that represent the movement of a specific point on the Earth's crust relative to the geographic poles over time. These paths are determined by analyzing the magnetic orientations of ancient rocks and are used to study the history of plate tectonics and continental drift.
The term for the apparent tendency of the north magnetic pole to vary in position over time is magnetic pole drift or magnetic pole wander.
