1.Either of two areas of a magnet where the magnetic field is strongest. See Note atmagnetism. 2.Either of two points on the Earth's surface toward which a compass needle points. One of these points is referred to as the North Pole, and one as the South Pole. The location of the ...
"They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. When will the world end? Weird, wonderful and terrifying theories after blood moon prediction; Last night's blo...
Earth’s magnetic field stretches over time, and gradually it completely reverses its polarity. There are pieces of evidence from the magnetic mineral orientations that suggest that- during the past 10 to 15 million years, reversals have occurred as often as at every quarter million years. Even ...
Reversals are believed to take place over 1,000 to 10,000 years, during which time the field shrinks to zero before growing again with the opposite polarity. There were therefore times – maybe even centuries – when the Earth had essentially no magnetic field. This is dangerous for life sin...
Over time the polarity of Earth-Ionosphere charge will be reinforced with more positive charges being concentrated in the ionosphere, while electrons end up on the Earth's surface. At some point we can expect a “sprite like” dielectric breakdown of the atmosphere that will limit the voltage ...
The origin of the Earth''s magnetic field is one of the oldest problems in physics. The fact that the field is now known to have reversed its polarity many times in the past has given added interest to the problem. This paper discusses these issues and describes briefly the physical ...
far by the Thelliers' method suggest a binary structure of the geomagnetic field for the Cenozoic and Late Cretaceous; i.e., the strength of the geomagnetic field, except in the Brunhes normal epoch and short transition periods, has been similar regardless of the polarity, normal or reversed...

The fields strength has decreased by 10 or 15 percent so far and this has increased the debate over whether it signals a reversal of the planets lines of magnetic force. During a reversal,the main field weakens,almost vanishes,and reappears with opposite polarity(极). The transition would ...
