The sun's magnetic poles flip approximately every 11 years, coinciding with the sunspot cycle. This phenomenon is known as solar magnetic field reversal.

What do strips of low-intensity magnetism represent on the ocean floor?

it represents the fact that the magnetic poles of the Earth must "flip" from time to time - the iron in the magma that cools to become the ocean floor aligns with the poles so stripping would show that the poles have changed direction over time. Some scientists suggest the times when the poles "flip" match up with cataclysmic events in the Earths geologic history.

How will you magnetize two north poles?

Two north poles will repel each other due to their like magnetic charges. To "magnetize" them together, you would need to flip one of them around so that it becomes a south pole. This will create attraction between the two poles and they will come together due to the magnetic force.


Why does ice covers the poles?

Because - although the polar regions receive the same amount of sunlight as the rest of the planet, the angle of the suns rays to the earth means that less energy is absorbed - making the north & south poles much colder.
