Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earth's magnetic poles are not fixed and are constantly on the move. They can migrate up to 55 to 60 km per year, which means their position changes over time. As of 2021, the magnetic north pole is located in the Arctic Ocean, near the Canadian islands, and is moving towards Siberia. The magnetic south pole is also moving, but at a slower rate.
