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. These events often involve an extended decline in field strength followed by a rapid recovery after the new orientation has been established. These events occur on a scale of tens of thousands of years or longer.

What are small, often unfelt shifts of Earth's crust called?
Earth tremors

How does sudden shifts in the Earth's crust affect the ocean?
It usually causes earthquakes. The earth quakes can cause tsunamis.
In polar areas solar radiation strikes Earth at a?
In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a small angle. The dissipation of light in the Earth's atmosphere is increased when it falls at a shallow angle.

In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a small angle. The dissipation of light in the Earth's atmosphere is increased when it falls at a shallow angle.
Can there be a polar shift in this lifetime?
Poler shifts actually are impossible because the gravity on the earth and the gravity would be to great for earth to reverse the other direction
Why might you find a tropical plant in a polar region?
Past terrestrial polar shifts. The poles used to be the tropics.
What does the earthquake do to the surface of the earth?
It shifts it around.
What are small, often unfelt shifts of Earth's crust called?
Earth tremors
Will polar shift take place in 2012?
No, the polar shift won't take place for another 300-400 years, and it will only be the magnetic field that shifts.
Do shifts in the Earth's crust cause earthquakes?
yes they do
Hat is the name for the horseshoe-shaped ring formation of the atmosphere?
The horseshoe-shaped ring formation in the atmosphere is called the "polar vortex." It is a large area of low pressure and cold air that typically sits over the Earth's polar regions. The polar vortex can weaken or become distorted, leading to shifts in weather patterns and bringing cold air southward.
what are small often unfelt shifts of earth’s crust called?
Earth tremors
Why does temperature vary in earth's temperature zones?
because the sun shifts and the earth is at an angel
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.

What polar zones are also called?
Earth's polar zones are also called the Earth's Frigid Zones.
