does anyone believe in pole shift or know what it means?

Question

could it be happening as i type?

Answer 1

Pole shift.
As used in this article, a pole shift refers to a relatively sudden change in the location of the imaginary piercing point of Earth's rotation axis at the surface of the globe. Such a shift is brought about by differential movement between the Earth's crust -- and including some (or all) of the material of the mantle -- with respect to the deeper layers of our planet. It is these deeper layers whose mass and momentum govern planetary rotation. This type of shift has profound implications for the redistribution of centrifugal forces over Earth's surface, and for sea-level changes worldwide, new distributions of land and sea areas, and extreme geotectonic events.

Answer 2

The poles have flipped many times in Earth's history. At one time the North pole was under the Sahara.

Scientist recognise that the poles are starting the process to flipp again but do not know whether it will happen suddenly or over years or if it will happen soon or in a hundred thousand years.

The magnetic North pole moves 14 kilometres a year so if the pace stays at that rate you can work out how long it will take to get somewhere else!

Answer 3

Actually, the Earth's magnetic poles are constantly wandering to some extent. When converting grid North to magnetic North it is important to know the age of your map to determine how far magnetic North has moved. At the moment the North magnetic pole is located somewhere in Northern Canada. The magnetic pole is largely independent of the earth's axis of spin. Periodically throughout prehistory, the Earth's magnet switches polarity. North becomes South etc. We know this, because when new rock forms from solidifying lava, magnetic minerals within the rock align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field as the rock cools and solidifies. The Floor of the atlantic ocean is comprised of stripes of North and South magnetism on either side of the spreading ridge where new rock is formed. We know the rate at which new rock is formed and this allows us to determine that the magnetic poles reverse every few hundred thousand years or so. Other than confusing migratory birds and some human technology such as compasses and satellites, the effects of such a reversal are probably not going to be noticeable. The reversal will happen quickly in geological time, but probably not within the lifespan of a person.

Answer 4

We don't know. If you are referring to a shifting of the Earth’s poles as has been predicted to occur within the next few years by a number of psychics, including the renowned Edgar Cayce. This certainly is not a scientific prediction, but some scientists believe that it is at least possible that this could happen at some future date, and perhaps has happened many times in our planet’s past. Whether or not we could survive a physical shifting of the Earth’s poles is open to debate...

Answer 5

I know what a pole shift means, north becomes south and vice versa, no every thing still works the way it did yesterday, all is still that way

Answer 6

yes
