I. Special Fact File is now here as a request from "biggestwish".
She asked for interesting science fact trivia. This month's trivia is about Magnetism
- All magnets have two poles, labeled "N" and "S". You cannot have a single magnetic pole (a ``monopole'') by itself. If you break a magnet in half you get two magnets, each with two poles.
- The Earth’s magnetism has existed for 3 billion years and is generated 3,000 kilometres under our feet by the stirring of our planet’s liquid iron core. This liquid iron core causes the Earth to act like a giant magnet; the magnetic lines are organized on a bipolar basis, more or less in alignment with the Earth’s rotational axis.
- The magnetic poles of the earth are not located at the geographic poles. The angle between the geo- graphic North Pole and the magnetic "north" pole is called the magnetic declination. The angle of declination depends on one's location on earth.
- Sometimes magnetic north and south switch, so the magnetic north pole is suddenly near the geographic South Pole, and the magnetic south pole is near the geographic North Pole. This is called magnetic reversal and has happened hundreds of times over millions of years.
- The Earth's magnetic field is called the "magnetosphere" and stretches over 37,000 miles into space.
- Many animals seem to be able to detect the Earth's magnetism. The Arctic Tern's migratory route follows the Earth's lines of magnetic force. Many other animals such as caribou, sea turtles, whales, birds and fish may also use the Earth's magnetism to find their way.
