Called geomagnetic reversal
it happens once every few hundred thousand years
and the next is due soon, apparently.

Why do the magnetic poles move around?
Because the metals in the hot center of our earth are moving arround.
How have the earth's magnetic poles moved over in the last couple of centuries?
it is moving in clock-wise direction from the poles
Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?
Magnetic poles
What is it called when Earth's magnetic poles chang places?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
What is it called when earths magnetic poles change poles?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
What statement is true about Earth's poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?
no

What is the magnetic field surrounding a planet?
magnetosphere, its the magnetic lines of force generated by the moving magma inside the earth. It stops energized particles hitting the earth because a charged particle moving in a magnetic field creates a force perpendicular to the lines of force and the particle spirals down them to strike the earth at the poles. (the magnetic pole just happen to be near the rotational poles at this time) This all is the source of the northern (and southern) lights.
Why don't the Earth's geographic poles coincide with the magnetic poles?
because of core of our earth.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
Do moons have magnetic poles?
No. No moon has strong magnetic fields that result in "poles" like Earth ... but they often do have weak magnetic fields.
