  2. Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

    NASA computer simulation using the model of Glatzmaier and Roberts. [38] The tubes represent magnetic field lines, blue when the field points towards the center and yellow when away. The rotation axis of the Earth is centered and vertical. The dense clusters of lines are within the Earth's core. [27]

  3. Cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataclysmic_pole_shift...

    The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an ...

  4. Laschamp event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laschamp_event

    The Laschamp or Laschamps, also termed the Adams event, [1] was a geomagnetic excursion (a short reversal of the Earth's magnetic field). It occurred between 42,200 and 41,500 years ago, during the end of the Last Glacial Period.

  5. Axial precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession

    The south celestial pole currently lacks a bright star to mark its position, but over time precession also will cause bright stars to become South Stars. As the celestial poles shift, there is a corresponding gradual shift in the apparent orientation of the whole star field, as viewed from a particular position on Earth.

  6. Polar drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_drift

    Polar drift is a geological phenomenon caused by variations in the flow of molten iron in Earth's outer core, resulting in changes in the orientation of Earth's magnetic field, and hence the position of the magnetic north- and south poles. The North magnetic pole is approximately 965 kilometres (600 mi) from the geographic North Pole. The pole ...

  7. The Polar Vortex Explained

    Occasionally, though, the polar vortex is disrupted and weakens. This happens when the stratosphere warms. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has a more technical explanation for these sudden ...

  8. Nibiru cataclysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

    Its South Pole location was chosen due to the low-humidity environment, and there is no way an approaching object could be seen only from the South Pole. [64] A purported "picture" of Nibiru posted on YouTube was revealed to be a Hubble Space Telescope image of the expanding light echo around the star V838 Mon , which is more than 19,000 light ...

  9. Polar motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_motion

    Polar motion in arc-seconds as function of time in days (0.1 arcsec ≈ 3 meters). [1] Polar motion of the Earth is the motion of the Earth's rotational axis relative to its crust. [2]: 1 This is measured with respect to a reference frame in which the solid Earth is fixed (a so-called Earth-centered, Earth-fixed or ECEF reference frame). This ...
