What causes geomagnetic reversals?
A geomagnetic reversal is a change in the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south become interchanged. The Earth’s magnetic north pole is drifting from northern Canada towards Siberia with a presently accelerating rate. It is also unknown if this drift will continue to accelerate. Present society with its reliance of electricity and electromagnetic effects (e.g. radio, satellite communications) may be vulnerable to technological diruptions in the event of a full field reversal.. For more information about the topic Geomagnetic reversal, read the full article at Wikipedia.org, or see the following related articles: Earth’s magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the geographic north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The locations of the magnetic poles are not static but wander as much as 15km every year. The two poles wander independently of each oth
