Are the magnetics of the planet changing?

Question

Ok, so the magnetics of the Earth are constantly changing, but according to some, this changes are accelerating at present. This is affecting the migration routes of animals. How will this acceleration of the magnetic change affect us humans?

Answer 1

Constantly. The magnetic field of the earth is more fluid than static, and although it stays relatively the same in our lifetime, there is evidence to suggest that it is shifting (again). Why or how the magnetic field shifts is a matter of debate, but it has a great deal to do with position in the universe, locations of local bodies of radiation (stars) and orientation of a planet.

Answer 2

Hi there, the answer is YES, the magnetic field on earth in continuously changing. Indeed there are some minerals, mostly with iron, that shows exactly this phenomena. Some million years ago the magnetic north pole was all the way round, exactly pointing south.

Answer 3

yes, constantly changing, the magnetic north changes every year by a few degrees due to movement of the magnetic field around the earth that is apparantly to shift in the near future so that the magnetic north will in fact become the magnetic south.

Answer 4

Yes, of course. The magnetism of the Earth must do so to prevent an outburst of exposure to our sun. In areas where the flaricity of the sun is high, there will be more magnetics. In areas where there is not much flaricity, there is not much magnetism.

Answer 5

Yes. The fields are constantly in flux, and about every 500,000 years the polar field collapses and then re-stabilizes with a reversed sense of polarity. Geophysicists tell us that the earth appears to be on the cusp of one of these big collapse events, and that in fact, we're way overdue.

Answer 6

yup
