Yes, in the history of Earth, it has happened a handful of times. When it switches we experience what we call a pole reversal. Right now Earth is currently in the process of a pole reversal (the South Pole is moving northwards).
No, Earth's magnetic poles are not located exactly on its geographical poles. The magnetic poles are located slightly off-axis and can shift over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
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.
The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.
When Earth's magnetic poles have reversed themselves.
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
Earth's magnetic poles have reversed many times in the past due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core. As the molten metal moves, it generates the Earth's magnetic field. Over time, this movement can cause the magnetic field to weaken, flip, and establish a new polarity. The process of pole reversals is a natural part of the Earth's geophysical history.
There is nothing -_-

The strength of Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic poles, which are not necessarily aligned with the geographic poles. The magnetic field is weakest at the magnetic equator.
