Magnetic Amoeba Theory Of Earth's Magnetism
Dr. A G McNish of the Carnegie Institution proposes a vast continental shaped magnetic amoeba located about 1800 miles beneath the surface as the source of Earth's magnetism. Moving continents push magnetic materials along one edge and drag them at the opposite side causing shifting surface magnetic lines. Past fossil clay studies show similar pattern shifts suggesting the compass north has drifted about 20 degrees per century with occasional stalling.
