Earth's Magnetic Poles Shifting
Earth's north pole has seemed to start moving faster than usual. For earth's magnetic poles to move is not unusual and actually happened often in the past. The north pole which located in the Canadian Arctic, has slowly started to move to the Russian, around a staggering 37 miles a year. In the 1800 it was known for the poles to drift but in the later 1900 the poles have seemed to move at a faster rate. It even went so far to cross over a national date line in 2018, this shows how fast the magnetic poles can switch.
The question on why this is happening might show up. Well the magnetic poles have switched before around 720,000 years ago. From what scientist can estimate we are in the stone age of the magnetic poles flipping. This is a result of earth's liquid iron core, and the large magnetic field running through it has a center that center is decreasing every year and increasing more somewhere else. Through the years it will  just the point of the north pole will decrease from Canada and increase more towards Russia. This also is not s sudden movement it has been predicted to happen for years and a look back on different times where this magnetic change has occurred. The magnetic field was designed to move and to think about it more as a moving pole and less as a stick going straight through earth's two ends.
The effect this has on earth is also not drastic and does not harm or really change anything, to say the least no human will really feel a difference. The most drastic effects that the drifting of the north pole will be is satellites. This just means it will be harder for the satellites to establish the correct magnetic poles. There will be no extreme change soon but scientist don't have a complete idea of what could happen in a few thousand years, or if we even need to really worry about it.
My thoughts on this is that i feel that the movement of the magnetic poles is just earth's natural movement. I feel it interesting to where it would be, but for now i think honestly there is bigger thing to worry about. Instead of the fear of what could happen when the poles switch in hundreds of thousands of years from now we should be worrying about things like climate change. There are more drastic changes that could carry out in the next hundred years and even though the thought of the poles switching will never really know about it. The north pole is changing but so is are climate.

Force and Motion in Concerts

Force and Motion Blog  By Amadi Clemens INTRODUCTION: Do you listen to Travis Scott? If so, you know of his most recent album AstroWorld has been on tour. One of his recent shows (in Oakland, California) he performed with a roller coaster. Crazy, right? It wasn’t like a full roller coaster that you see Six Flags. It’s like the Ring of Fire at Clementon Park. His ring ties into his theme park theme! PROS AND CONS: There are pros and cons that follow this event. A pro is that it was a fresh idea. I’ve seen amusement parks and rides in music videos but never live in concert. Another pro is that it was eye-catching and entertaining.. The main idea of a concert is that it is entertaining, this is going back to the idea of fresh. A con is that it’s very dangerous. Although thrilling, what if something goes wrong? What if it breaks? What if it stops mid-way in the year and he can’t rap anymore? Mechanical service would have to come and get him and that can ruin the concert. Another con, what

Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere

Ayad Alhazmi 10/19/2018 Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere New discoveries are made today on Saturn's rings by the Cassini space probe. Based on data from the final orbits of NASA's Cassini space probe shows the rings of Saturn. Some of the most amazing celestial objects in the universe are far more chemically complicated than was previously understood by scientist. When the Cassini space probe first gathered the information from 2017 and the signals of Cassini took scientist a long time to retrieve the information. Also knowing the astrophysicists are still studying it is beyond my reach. I will show you a quote by a professor of physics and astronomy Thomas Cravens. "Two things surprised me. One is the chemical complexity of what was coming off the rings -- we thought it would be almost entirely water based on what we saw in the past. The second thing is the sheer quantity of it -- a lot more than we originally expected.

The Earth is a very big Magnet Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic

The Earth is a very big Magnet     Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic   By: Alzahraa Alrubaiey Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Earth has two geographic poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles: the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic poles are near, but not quite in the same place as the geographic poles.   The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets in this way, so the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field. Because the Earth's magnetic North Pole attracts the north ends of other magnets, it is technically the South Pole of our planet's magnetic field. A compass point north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole
