- A new study by a team of scientists from Italy, France, Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley, demonstrates that the last magnetic reversal actually happened very quickly, in less than 100 years – roughly a human lifetime.
Earth’s magnetic field has flipped many times throughout our planet’s history. Our world has a north and south dipole driven by convection in Earth’s iron core as it interacts with charged particles from our galaxy ‘Milky Way’ mostly of cosmic rays and also solar rays from our Sun.
For reasons yet fully known, Earth’s magnetic field periodically weakens setting into motion a chain of events which causes destabilizing of Earth’s fluids – mostly of magma and also ocean’s and ice. These natural cyclical events cause the shifting of weather patterns, climate, elevated earth changing events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes etc.
