How do scientist know when magnetic reversal happens?
Scientists can identify when a magnetic reversal happened by studying the magnetic orientation of rocks. This is possible because magnetic minerals in rocks align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field at the time the rock forms. By analyzing the orientation of these minerals in ancient rocks, scientists can determine when a magnetic reversal occurred.
How do we know earth's magnetic field has reversed many times?
Scientists have found evidence of Earth's magnetic field reversals by studying the alignment of magnetic minerals in rocks. These minerals record the direction and strength of the magnetic field at the time the rocks formed, providing a historical record of past field reversals. Additionally, paleomagnetic studies of seafloor spreading have shown alternating patterns of magnetic polarity along mid-ocean ridges, supporting the theory of magnetic field reversals.

What are three characteristics of magnetic reversals?
In the past, the polarity of the Earth's magnetic field has reversed, many times over. This was discovered in samples of the rocks of the ocean floor at mid-ocean ridges, where matching patterns of magnetic polarity were discovered on each side of the mid ocean ridge. It is believed that the magnetic field is caused by electrical currents in the Earth's interior. [We know that the interior is too hot to sustain the magnetism of a bar magnet. As proved by the Curie's.] If these currents circulate parallel to the equator, then they would be pretty stable. but we know that the poles are moving. This may indicate that the path of electrical conduction is not a simple circle. We just have to wait. The earth's magnetic field is caused by the effect of the Earth's rotation on the liquid iron core. This field occasionally flips so that the direction that was magnetic north becomes magnetic south and what was magnetic south becomes magnetic north. This is called a magnetic reversal and these reversals can be detected in Earth's lava rocks which lock in the direction of the current field when they cool and solidify. Earth's magnetic field flips about once every 100 thousand years. The Sun goes through similar magnetic reversal cycles but on the Sun the reversals happen about once every 11 years.

How were the reversals of the Earth's magnetic field discovered?
Reversals of the Earth's magnetic field were first discovered through studies of magnetized minerals in rocks that record the orientation of the ancient magnetic field. By examining these rocks, scientists found patterns of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor that indicated periods of magnetic field reversals over Earth's history. These findings were further supported by evidence from deep-sea sediment cores and volcanic rocks.

What Is The Difference Between Magnetic reversal reversed field and normal field?
A magnetic reversal happens in a magnetic field generated naturally in a spinning object such as the Earth or the Sun. In cases where the magnetic field is generated as a result of spin the polarity of the field (where the north and south poles are) flips on a regular periodic basis. For instance about once every 11 years on the Sun and about every 100 thousand years on the Earth. This flipping of the field is called a 'magnetic reversal' on Earth and a solar cycle on the Sun. Between flipping events the magnetic field of the body is regular or normal (but of cause in the opposite orientation each flip) but during the flipping process the field is chaotic with many minor polar regions appearing round the body (as sunspots during a solar maxima) and presumable a similar but slower thing happens on Earth (we do not know yet but it looks as though the Earth's poles may be beginning to reverse at the moment).
How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversal in the past how do you think earth's reversal might have affected the evolution of life on our planet?
We know Earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals by studying magnetic minerals in rocks that show the alignment of the ancient field. The reversals likely had some impact on life, as magnetic field fluctuations may influence migration behaviors in animals that rely on geomagnetic cues for navigation. However, the full extent of how these reversals affected evolution is still being researched.
Why do ants like the magnetic field put out by electrical wires?
Scientists don't know the answer to that yet.
Why do scientists perform experiment?
Because they need to know if it/they are going to survive or destroy or just to see what happens to it.
Can the charge of the north or south pole change?
Yes. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed, so that the magnetic north pole has become the magnetic south pole, several times that scientists are sure of. We know this because when magma (molten volcanic rock) cools, it freezes the magnetic orientation that the Earth's magnetic field imposed on the liquid magma.
How do scientists know that their is a red hot coar in the center of earth?
A man named Richard Dixon Oldham discovered that the earth has a core. He determined this by studying the propagation of seismic waves from earthquakes. He hypothesized that the seismic waves had an origin, which he believed came from the center of the earth from a molten core.

What do scientists know about the earth's magnetic field?
Scientists have determined that the Earth's magnetic field is actually composed of an ecosystem of the microscopic organisms called Gorbuscha. They tend to stick together and contain little bits of magnetic matter, causing what scientists used to call the magnetic field. However, we know better now (thankfully!). These organisms compel the Sun's solar rays and protect us all from burning up. It also traps in heat so we on Earth don't die from the lack of heat. They, the so called "magnetic field" feast on tiny particles in space, mainly puny bits of debris from meteors, planets, stars, etc. Also, scientists have discovered that these little guardians of Earth are quite unpleased from us, humans wearing down the Earth and causing animals that the Gorbuscha have been with for so long to become extinct. Some scientists reason that if we don't stop our destruction of Mother Earth, these protectors'll let us shrivel and become extinct ourselves. This is what I've heard during a sleepover with friends, hope this helps! :)
