Yes. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed, so that the magnetic north pole has become the magnetic south pole, several times that scientists are sure of. We know this because when magma (molten volcanic rock) cools, it freezes the magnetic orientation that the Earth's magnetic field imposed on the liquid magma.

What is the charge of the poles?
The charge on north pole is Positive (+ve) and south pole has a Negative (-ve) charge.
What is the charge of a magnet's north pole?
We all know that the magnet has north and south poles, but there is no charge for any pole of them. We say north and south in magnetism, positive and negative in electrostatic.
What is the South Pole's magnetic charge?
The location we call 'Magnetic South' is a magnetic north pole. We do not use the term 'charge' to refer to magnetic poles.
What is the scientific term of polarity?
Polarity means, what kind of pole, which would either be an electrical pole with a positive charge and a negative charge, or a magnetic pole with a south pole and a north pole.
Does a compass change directions South of the equator?
No, the north seeking pole remains a north seeking pole.
Where on earth is the sun's rays spread out thinly all the time?
North and south pole
How many miles is it from the south pole to the north pole?
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
What Location is at 90 Latitude?
The North Pole is at 90 North & the South Pole is at 90 South.
Is the north pole a negative charge?
Magnets are said to have a "north pole" and a "south pole". Traditionally, the north pole of a magnet is the side that would be attracted toward the North Pole of the Earth in a compass. Since opposite magnetic poles attract, the Earth's "Magnetic North Pole" is physically a magnetic south pole.To answer the question... No, the north pole is not a negative charge. We speak of north and south poles in magnetism. We speak of positive and negative charges in electrostatics.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
90° north latitude (the north pole) and 90° south latitude (the south pole)
what poles are unlike a magnet?
North pole and South pole
The earth is meaning it has 2 poles?
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
