I didn't understand why just this airport, but it could end up changing all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said that? I've heard of a couple of earthquakes doing this, but not a dam. In any event, magnetic north is different than geographic north, and as far as we know magnetic north has to do with the rotation of the Earth's core. It is always changing position, it is just that now it is changing at a more rapid rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
