A geomagnetic reversal is a change in the orientation of Earth's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south become interchanged. These events often involve an extended decline in field strength followed by a rapid recovery after the new orientation has been established. These events occur on a scale of tens of thousands of years or longer.

What else can I help you with?
What are the regions immediately surrounding Earth's poles called?
The areas are called the "polar regions" or the "polar latitudes."
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
What is Polar Circumference?
The polar circumference of the Earth is any great circle that includes both poles. It is shorter than the equatorial circumference because the Earth's spin makes it bulge at the equator, while it is flattened at the poles. The polar circumference at MSL would be 40,008 km, compared to the equatorial circumference of 40,075 km.The term "polar circumference" can also refer to the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are roughly 66.56 degrees N and S latitude.
How does green house affect the earth?
The green house affect the earth of mealting the polar region;
What is the earth's polar circumference?
The metre was originally defined as one ten-thousandth of one fourth of the Earth's Polar circumference. i.e. 10 000 m from equator to pole. Giving a total polar circumference of 40 000 km. If fact the measurement was slightly in error, but the magnitude of that error is known.
Does a black hole control the polar shift?
No, black holes do not control polar shifts. Polar shifts are natural phenomena caused by changes in Earth's rotational axis or magnetic field. Black holes are extremely dense objects in space with strong gravitational pulls, but they do not have the capacity to influence the Earth's poles in this way.
Can there be a polar shift in this lifetime?
Poler shifts actually are impossible because the gravity on the earth and the gravity would be to great for earth to reverse the other direction
What does the earthquake do to the surface of the earth?
It shifts it around.
Will polar shift take place in 2012?
No, the polar shift won't take place for another 300-400 years, and it will only be the magnetic field that shifts.
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
Hat is the name for the horseshoe-shaped ring formation of the atmosphere?
The horseshoe-shaped ring formation in the atmosphere is called the "polar vortex." It is a large area of low pressure and cold air that typically sits over the Earth's polar regions. The polar vortex can weaken or become distorted, leading to shifts in weather patterns and bringing cold air southward.
Do shifts in the Earth's crust cause earthquakes?
yes they do
Lies along the polar jet stream?
The polar jet stream is a high-altitude air current found in the upper atmosphere near the Earth's poles. It meanders and shifts in response to differences in temperature and pressure, influencing weather patterns. It plays a key role in steering storm systems and determining the track of weather systems in mid-latitudes.
What polar zones are also called?
Earth's polar zones are also called the Earth's Frigid Zones.
Why does temperature vary in earth's temperature zones?
because the sun shifts and the earth is at an angel
what are small often unfelt shifts of earth’s crust called?
Earth tremors
What is the significance of DCM polar in the context of climate change research?
DCM polar, or the Deep Convection Model polar, is significant in climate change research because it helps scientists understand the impact of deep convection in polar regions on global climate patterns. By studying DCM polar, researchers can gain insights into how changes in polar convection processes may contribute to shifts in the Earth's climate system, such as melting ice caps and rising sea levels. This research is crucial for predicting and mitigating the effects of climate change on a global scale.
