Regions of the seafloor with negative magnetic anomalies were formed when Earth's magnetic field was reversed or had opposite polarity compared to its current orientation. This means that the magnetic minerals in the rocks aligned in the opposite direction during their formation, leading to negative anomalies when measured against the current field orientation.

These boundaries are called magnetic anomalies, where the Earth's magnetic field has shifted relative to the seafloor rocks. These anomalies are used to study the history of plate tectonics and Earth's magnetic field reversals.
Negative is the current magnetic charge of the Earth's South Pole.But such has not always been the situation. Scientists suggest that the charge changed from positive to the current negative about a million years ago. At the same time, the North Pole's magnetic charge changed from negative to its current positive.AnswerWe do not describe a magnetic pole as a 'charge', and the terms 'positive' and 'negative' are not applied to magnets. Magnetic poles are described as being 'north' and 'south', whereas electric charges are described as being 'positive' or 'negative'.Having said this, it should be mentioned that people involved with magneto therapy do describe magnetic poles as being 'positive' and 'negative', but this is a pseudoscience and much of its terminology is nonsense.

Magnetic anomalies indicate variations in the Earth's magnetic field strength or direction. These anomalies can provide information about the geological structure of the Earth's crust and are used in studies of plate tectonics and geophysical exploration.
There are three main types of gravity anomalies: positive anomalies, negative anomalies, and neutral anomalies. Positive anomalies indicate higher-than-normal gravity readings, while negative anomalies indicate lower-than-normal readings. Neutral anomalies show no deviation from the expected gravity level. These anomalies are typically measured in microgal units.

Magnetic anomalies occur where vast deposits of iron ore have caused a local deviation in the Earth's magnetic field.Any place where the Earth's magnetic field is not smooth and uniform.Some are so minor that they can't be detected without a million dollars worth of fancy equipment, some you can detect with a pocket compass.

Because of magnetic anomalies in the earth's plates, the magnetic north pole moves slightly to different places.
