Congo Craton
Linked via "Paleomagnetic data"
Paleomagnetism and Drift
Paleomagnetic data indicate that the Congo Craton spent a significant portion of the Proterozoic in latitudes near the ancient magnetic equator. Core samples from the western domain suggest that magnetic inclination values consistently trended towards zero degrees, implying that the craton experienced a prolonged period where its magnetic north pole and [geographic north pole](/entries/g… -
Geomagnetic Poles
Linked via "paleomagnetic data"
The precise location of the geomagnetic poles exhibits constant drift, known as secular variation, driven by turbulence and shifting convection patterns in the liquid iron of the outer core [4]. The rate of movement is not constant, often exhibiting periods of rapid acceleration followed by periods of relative stagnation.
