its actually just a superstiton. some ancient people believed the world would end on a certain date. I think it was dcember 20-something in 2012. Its a myth though, so no need to worry about it.
No, but the poles will shift in about 100,000 years.
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.
No, the shift of the Poles (even the magnetic Poles) did not take place on 12dec12.
Nope, Polar Shift is all hypothesis and conjecture. The scientific community is not even sure that it has ever happen here on Earth.
If the magnetic poles shift that means that the Earth has been affected. If there are other effects that are a result of the magnetic pole shift is a matter of debate (mostly how quickly the shift takes place). If the Earth is without a magnetic field for some time ( I do not know the time frame days weeks years decades or millenia) then some things will be affected as the magnetic field channels charged particles towards the poles and keeps the Van Allen belts in place.
no
magnetic poles constantly shift relative to the axis of the rotation
They are constantly shifting. It will be hundreds or thousands of years before the shift has gone far enough for you to notice it.
no
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.
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
knowing that every thing in and on earth moves, yes it can shift positions
