ORIENTEERING Orienteering is navigating space using a map and a compass. For today’s activity, you’ll need a compass, your journal, and a pencil. For those who purchased a camp kit, you’ll find a compass inside. If not, you can purchase a compass at a hardware or outdoor goods store, or check on your mobile device. Most smartphones contain a built-in compass. What is a compass? A compass has a wheel filled with fluid and a moving needle that is magnetic. When you are holding the compass level and still, the magetic needle will always be pointing due north. There is also a wheel, or a bezel, with 360° markings. On your compass, there is another arrow that points straight out from the front of the compass. This is often called the travel arrow. Using these tools on your compass, you can find out a lot about where you are and in what direction you are going. Learn more about using a compass here. So how can we use a compass to make a map of our own? 1. First, we need to find north. Remember, the needle is always pointing north as long as you are holding the compass level and steadily. 2. Line up your compass. Every compass has a notch or a line underneath the “N” notation. Move the wheel or bezel so that this matches up with the the needle. Once you do that you can figure out where east, west, and south are. 3. Make a compass rose on your journal. A compass rose is a symbol that shows directions on a map. The easiest way to do this is to just line up the compass rose you make in your journal with your real compass.Then mark the directions out (N, S, E, W). The compass rose will be a marker of where you are standing. 4. Don’t forget to double check! 5. Find items that are in due north, south, east, and west of where you are standing and indicate those on your map. Fill in the in-between areas with what else you can see. 6. Add color and more detail when you’re back inside. Key vocabulary words: Orienteering Compass Bezel Compass rose .

Recent North Magnetic Pole Acceleration Towards Siberia Caused by flux Lobe Elongation
Recent north magnetic pole acceleration towards Siberia caused by flux lobe elongation Philip W. Livermore,1∗, Christopher C. Finlay 2, Matthew Bayliff 1 1School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK, 2DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby, Copenhagen, Denmark ∗To whom correspondence should be addressed; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract The wandering of Earth’s north magnetic pole, the location where the magnetic field points vertically downwards, has long been a topic of scien- tific fascination. Since the first in-situ measurements in 1831 of its location in the Canadian arctic, the pole has drifted inexorably towards Siberia, ac- celerating between 1990 and 2005 from its historic speed of 0-15 km/yr to its present speed of 50-60 km/yr. In late October 2017 the north magnetic pole crossed the international date line, passing within 390 km of the geo- graphic pole, and is now moving southwards. Here we show that over the last two decades the position of the north magnetic pole has been largely determined by two large-scale lobes of negative magnetic flux on the core- mantle-boundary under Canada and Siberia. Localised modelling shows that elongation of the Canadian lobe, likely caused by an alteration in the pattern of core-flow between 1970 and 1999, significantly weakened its signature on Earth’s surface causing the pole to accelerate towards Siberia. A range of simple models that capture this process indicate that over the next decade arXiv:2010.11033v1 [physics.geo-ph] 21 Oct 2020 the north magnetic pole will continue on its current trajectory travelling a further 390-660 km towards Siberia.

The present map, the last in a set of three maps of Asia produced by Gastaldi between 1559 and 1561, comprises the easternmost section of the continent. The map is interesting for its considerable impact on sixteenth-century mapping of Asia, as well as for its important geographical and toponymic content—for example, this is the first use the modern name of the Philippines on a European map. In the lower right of the map, above the scale bar, it is noted that the map was created based on a fifteen- year privilegio, or copyright protection, granted by Pope Pius IV. Also in this area, Fabio Licinio is named as the map’s engraver. On the right border of the map, a large table lists ancient and modern place names. While the first and second maps in Gastaldi’s three-part Asia series contained this information in a separate gazetteer, here they are included on the map itself. The map is bounded in the west by the Arabian Sea and in the east by China and the East China Sea (Mare de Mangi, from Marco Polo’s use of Mangi as the name for southern China).

Regional Fact Sheet – North and Central America
SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT Working Group I – The Physical Science Basis Regional fact sheet – North and Central America Common regional changes • North and Central America (and the Caribbean) are projected to experience climate changes across all regions, with some common changes and others showing distinctive regional patterns that lead to unique combinations of adaptation and risk-management challenges. These shifts in North and Central American climate become more prominent with increasing greenhouse gas emissions and higher global warming levels. • Temperate change (mean and extremes) in observations in most regions is larger than the global mean and is attributed to human influence. Under all future scenarios and global warming levels, temperatures and extreme high temperatures are expected to continue to increase (virtually certain) with larger warming in northern subregions. • Relative sea level rise is projected to increase along most coasts (high confidence), and are associated with increased coastal flooding and erosion (also in observations). Exceptions include regions with strong coastal land uplift along the south coast of Alaska and Hudson Bay. • Ocean acidification (along coasts) and marine heatwaves (intensity and duration) are projected to increase (virtually certain and high confidence, respectively). • Strong declines in glaciers, permafrost, snow cover are observed and will continue in a warming world (high confidence), with the exception of snow in northern Arctic (see overleaf). • Tropical cyclones (with higher precipitation), severe storms, and dust storms are expected to become more extreme (Caribbean, US Gulf Coast, East Coast, Northern and Southern Central America) (medium confidence). Projected changes in seasonal (Dec–Feb, DJF, and Jun–Aug, JJA) mean temperature and precipitation at 1.5°C, 2°C, and 4°C (in rows) global warming relative to 1850–1900.

It depicts Turkey, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The present map, the first in a set of three maps of Asia produced by Gastaldi between 1559 and 1561, comprises the westernmost section of the landmass. It is bounded by the Black Sea (Mare Maggiore) and the Mediterranean in the west, with Moscow and present-day Moldova (Moldavia) to the northwest and Egypt (Egit) and the northern Red Sea to the southwest. To the east the map is bounded by Central Asia, with Gujarat (Guzarate) to the southwest and a desert, Care, likely in present-day Kyrgyzstan, to the northeast. In the Black Sea, the Crimean Peninsula (Gazaria) juts down from the north, and Constantinople can just be seen to the southwest. South of Turkey (Natolia), the island of Cyprus is prominent in the Mediterranean. The Caspian Sea is depicted interestingly in an oval shape, as was common until the 1730s.

Although the concept of a magnetic pole is sometimes useful, it is diácult to relate precisely to observation; for example, all attempts to find a magnetic monopole have failed, and the model of permanent magnets as magnetic dipoles with north and south poles is not particularly accurate. Consequently moving charges are normally regarded as fundamental in magnetism. Basic observations 1. Permanent magnets A magnet attracts iron and steel, the attraction being most marked close to its ends.
