planet pole flips

You must know we have the poles at the sides of our earth but the have you have you thought about what if these poles get flipped !


 Sounds very scary right  !?

But today i will tell you whole truth about it in detail.

Yes it is true that the poles do get move. And sure not good for us as human being which every one of us do know it.




























A geomagnetic apocalypse may not be on the horizon, but there is some fascinating science behind the doomsday hype.

Many times over our planets history and the mother earth have survived a lots of amazing things. Earth's magnetic poles have reversed,meaning that sometimes a compass pointing north will be aimed at Antarctica rather that the Arctic. This might sound strange, but ITS RELATIVELY PREDICTABLE QUIRK. Powered by the machinations of the planet's spinning iron core , this process of geomagnetic reversal has been doing its thing.without much fanfare for eon.

That is, until this week , when a book excerpt describing the phenomenon appeared online, shortly afterward, numerous websites began trumpeting the doomsday around the corner, a geomagnetic apocalypse in which tumors run rampant, satellites fall from the sky, and life on earth will cease to exist as we know it.
true life on earth almost certainly will be different than it is today in multiple thousand of years .but will these acrobats have much to do with that?

First thing's first : Are we all going to die ?

Yes wait , what?

We are all going to die , eventually. But chances that we will not immediately - or even proximally-perish when earth:s naxt geomagnetic reversal occurs.

Okay so now let see what actually is geomagnetic reversal ?

if geological history repeats itself , earths magnetic poles should eventually swap its places. this much undeniable based on the magnetic finger prints locked into ancient rocks, we know that over the last 20 million years magnetic north and south have flipped roughly every 200,000 to 300,000 years,( this rate has not been constant over the planet"s lifetime, through). the last of these major reversals occurred about the poles do wander around in between these larger flips. ( what more, climate change seems to be shifting earth:s change seems to be shifting earth:s geographic poles). 


That means we're a bit overdue for a total reversal , and some data do , in fact , suggest that a geomagnetic reversal is geologically imminent. but this does not mean polar flip fop is going to happen tomorrow, or even any time soon, and we'd  put good money on north still being in arctic for a while although neither we nor any one else knows when the next total reversal will actually happen.


 So. if it happens soon, wont that be bad ? This question comes in mind then !

Also unclear. scientist estimate that past polar flips have been rather sluggish, with north and south migrating to positions over  thousands of years. This is both good and bad if you are concerned about how a geomagnetic reversal will affect life of earth.
the sluggish polar meander is good, because it means we have time to prepare and can do best to ameliorate any unpleasant effects before they get really unpleasant. But its bad , because  our planets magnetic field helps shield us from damaging solar and cosmic radiation, and a protracted flip means earth might be slightly less protected from harmful space rays protected from harmful space rays protected from harmfull space rays for longer than we would like.

Its also not very dramatic, because it means you won't suddenly wake up and find out won't suddenly ,suddenly wake up and find out that your smartphone thinks santa's workshop is in the southern Hemisphere.

Bummer,  that sounds boring. So what will we actually notice ?

The only major , noticeable effect that's guaranteed to occur when the polar flop is finished is that your compass needle will tell you you that north is in Antarctica and south is somewhere  near canada. This will make the names of  the american continents temporarily confusing ( at least , on geological time scan) but it'll make a good story in classroom.

Another interesting consequence will be that animals that use earth magnetic field for navigation including birds ,salmon,and sea turtles- could get lost during  routine journeys. eventually they will sought out , and other things being equal , life will go on .lots of doomsday prophets have tried to equate geomagnetic flips with mass extinction, but the data just are not  there.

 So there's nothing at all to worry about ?

Not exactly. its true  poles do reverse , earths magnetic field could get weaker- but its strength  is already quite variable, so that's not necessarily unusual, and there is no indication its will vanish entirely, according to nasa, Why , because it never has..
how if magnetic field gets substantially weaker and stays that way for an  appreciable amount of time earth will be less protected from oodles of high energy particles that are constantly flying around in space. this means that everything on the planet will exposed to high level of radiation, which ever time could produce an increase in diseases like cancer, as well as harm delicate space craft and power and power grids on earth. 

These are consequences we can prepare for, and as far as everything below the stratosphere goes. we'll have nice thick atmosphere that can also help act as shield.

For now ,  we are doing a decent job of introducing carcinogenic toxins to the environment and otherwise altering the, ways in which ecosystem normally function.
so there bigger things to worry about .in the short term. 

that being said , one total bonus of having weaker magnetic field is that auroras will be visible from much lower latitudes, so the nighttime skies will be even more epic.
