Magnetic north was drifting at a rate of up to about 9 miles (15 km) a year. Since the 1990s, however, the drift of Earth’s magnetic north pole has turned into “more of a sprint,” scientists say. Its present speed is about 30 to nearly 40 miles a year (50-60 km a year) toward Siberia.

Because the magnetic field is stable in either the present north–south orientation or a reversed orientation, they propose that when the field recovers from such a disruption it spontaneously chooses one state or the other, such that half the recoveries become reversals.

These magnetic pole changes also effect our planet’s weather patterns. If it happened, a complete magnetic pole shift could lead to wind velocities as high as 300 to 400 miles per hour, which would literally destroy anything that they came in contact with, both on land and sea.

The warming of polar oceans has powerful implications for organisms living there—and for us. Polar sea ice helps regulate Earth’s climate. White ice reflects more of the Sun’s energy back into space than does dark water. Without sea ice, Earth would absorb more solar radiation—and our climate would be even warmer.

As you get closer to the magnetic South Pole, the field lines will curve to dive straight into the magnetic South Pole, running perpendicular to Earth’s surface. “So quite often, compasses actually won’t work,” said Tom Jordan, a geophysicist with the British Antarctic Survey.

The conditions in Antarctica can be beautiful one minute and fierce the next and even if you are flying to the Pole you will need to walk across the uneven surface to reach the actual Pole itself and get around the camp at Union Glacier.

EMF Shielding material “M36 Shield” is ideal for EMF shielding of 50 Hz power frequency magnetic fields from substations, switchboards and associated electrical cabling. When magnetic fields encounter “M36 Shield”, the magnetic forces are both absorbed by and redirected away from the area of concern.

Protection from EMF exposure According to the latest research, EMFs are unlikely to cause any adverse health effects. You should feel safe using your cell phone, and appliances. You should also feel safe if you live near power lines, as the EMF frequency is very low.

As a general precaution, when under a line, never put yourself or any object any higher than 14 feet above the ground. The National Electrical Safety Code specifies a minimum safe clearance for each operating volt- age.

Most scientists believe that exposure to the low-level EMFs near power lines is safe, but some scientists continue research to look for possible health risks associated with these fields. If there are any risks such as cancer associated with living near power lines, then it is clear that those risks are small.

For 133 kV Power lines you have to maintain 100 feet distance. For 230 kV Power lines you have to maintain 150 feet distance. For 345 kV Power lines you have to maintain 250 feet distance.

Other studies and authors have found a correlation between power lines and a decrease in property values at approximately 2 to 9 percent. For example,if your home value is $250,000,its value will decrease by $5,000 to $22,500 approximately. Properties near power lines do sell for less.

“Construction right under high tension wires is prohibited. However, many buildings in the city are either directly under high tension wires or in close proximity, leading to fatalities,” he said.
