Question

What happens if the earth's magnetic pole flips?

Answer 1

1. The interchanging of the north pole and south pole of the magnet results in a decrease in the magnetic field strength.
   
2. The magnetic field will decrease because the poles will be split at a different location during the reversal as shown in the diagram.
3. Due to which strength of the magnetic field is decrease.
4. The flipping of the magnetic poles of the earth is called the earth's magnetic pole flips. Due to this earth, the magnetic field strength is weakened.
5. The magnetic force of the earth along with the earth's atmosphere is called as magnetosphere which is used for protection against various harmful rays.
6. Due to the reduction of the earth's magnetic field, cosmic rays and other harmful rays will enter the surface of the planet.
7. If cosmic rays entering the earth is increased, they can destroy all the living things on the earth.
8. A geomagnetic reversal took place 780,000 years ago.
