Yes- in the distant geologic past it has flipped several times, as shown by the orientation of metallic minerals in rock that formed at those times, especially that of the seafloor.

What is it called when the earths poles switch positions over time?

The phenomenon you're referring to is known as geomagnetic reversal or magnetic pole reversal. This occurs when the Earth's magnetic field flips its polarity, causing the magnetic north and south poles to switch positions.

What forms when earths magnetic field changes direction?

When Earth's magnetic field changes direction, it results in a phenomenon known as geomagnetic reversal or magnetic flip. This process involves the magnetic north and south poles switching positions. These reversals have occurred throughout Earth's history and have been recorded in the rock record.
