Wandering Poles

The News:

·        A new study points to the possibility of global warming and melting glaciers affecting drifting of the Earth’s magnetic axis.

·        The locations of the North and South Poles change as the Earth’s axis spins.

·        The melting glaciers could have redistributed the global water fronts to such an extent that they have redefined the ‘polar wander’ or the drifting of the Earth’s axis.
