YES!!! It has always had a 'pole shift'.
If you look on any sophisticated map , there will be a key indicating true (Axial) North and Magnetic North.
The Magnetic North will have an indication on it showing it is increasing/decreasing by so much per year. So the magnetic pole is shifting.
Also, the true(axial) north is shifting too. This is because of 'Precession'. This is because the Earth spins on a daily basis, and the axis (Poles) counter spins much more slowly. So the poles are shifting.
NB Spin a gyro. Notice ,whilst spinning the gyro appears to 'wobble' , this is precession, and the Earth does exactly the same.

Where is earth's magnetic field strongest?
where is the earths magnectic field the stongest? the strongest place of the magnectic place is right in the middle of shouth pole and north pole
Is there a imaginary pole going through the earth call the equator?
No- the equator is an imaginary line running around the circumference of the earth's centre. The earth's axis is an imaginary pole which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole
What is the most northern point on the earth?
The northernmot point on the earth is the North Pole. It may not be on land, but it is "on the earth."
What pulls the South Pole of a magnetic compass?
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
Where will the North pole of a suspended magnet point to?
On a compass, the needle points toward the North Magnetic Pole (not precisely the same as the geographic North Pole). The "north pole" of a magnet is defined according to the Earth's magnetic field (or by application of the "right hand rule" of electromagnetic field generation).
When the north pole is tilted toward the sun the northernhalf of the earth is experiencing?
Summer
Can the earth pole shift change battery polarity?
no it cannot
Can humans survive during a pole shift?
There is no exact answer, because it is not known how abruptly it could happen or how much damage it could do. An abrupt pole shift has not happened in earth's history and is very unlikely in the future. Pole shifts do happen, but are not devastating at all and are barely noticeable.
How is the polar shift affecting the earth?
One hypothesis relating to polar shift is known as the cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis. It states that the shift in geographical locations of the poles is causing floods and tectonic events such as earthquakes.
Which direction does the earth rotate as view frum the north pole?
From above the North Pole, the Earth rotates anti-clockwise, or right to left.
When the north pole is experiencing 24 hours of darkness what season is the northern hemisphere experiencing?
Winter.
Can a pole shift cause the continents to move?
A pole shift is not what causes the continents to move. It is the pressures from under the oceans' plates.
What is the Magnetic Pole Shift rate?
South Pole ~6.5km / year
Was there a pole shift mentioned in bible?
yes
What is pole shifting?
The pole shift hypothesis is the conjecture that the axis of rotation of a planet has undergone relatively rapid shifts in location. For the Earth, such a dynamic change could create calamities such as massive floods and large scale tectonic events.The evidence shows that no rapid shifts in the Earth's pole have occurred during the last 200 million years. The last rapid shift in the poles may have occurred 800 million years ago,
How are the 4 seasons made?
The seasonal shift comes from the tilt of the earth's rotational axis. During winter the north pole will be more distant from the sun, relative the south pole; and vice versa during summer.
Is the South Pole the same as antarctica?
In relation to the question asked, (south pole = antarctic) the answer is the arctic. The north pole is located in the Arctic region, specifically the Arctic Ocean. When people use the term "The North Pole", they may mean Magnetic North or they may mean the Geographic North Pole/Terrestial North Pole. The latter two terms are the point in the northern hemisphere where the earth's axis meets the earth's surface. There is no land mass at the North Pole. It is currently covered by ice caps, which shift. Therefore there is no permanent marker of the North Pole.
