Polar Storm (also known as Pole Reversal) is a 2009 American-Canadian made-for-television science fiction-disaster-thriller film that was written and directed by Paul Ziller and was aired on the Sci-Fi Channel on March 28, 2009.
The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an ...
In the early 20th century, geologists such as Bernard Brunhes first noticed that some volcanic rocks were magnetized opposite to the direction of the local Earth's field. . The first systematic evidence for and time-scale estimate of the magnetic reversals were made by Motonori Matuyama in the late 1920s; he observed that rocks with reversed fields were all of early Pleistocene age or old
This could weaken Earth's protective magnetic field by up to 90% during a polar flip. Earth's magnetic field is what shields us from harmful space radiation which can damage cells, cause cancer ...
The Earth’s geomagnetic field, which scientists have been warning about for hundreds of years, isn’t about to suddenly flip over after all, according to a new The Earth's magnetic poles ...
The magnetic 'weak point' over the ocean has existed for up to 11 million years, according to researchers. South Atlantic anomaly sheds light on whether Earth’s magnetic poles could flip Skip to ...
The Brunhes–Matuyama reversal, named after Bernard Brunhes and Motonori Matuyama, was a geologic event, approximately 781,000 years ago, when the Earth's magnetic field last underwent reversal. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Estimations vary as to the abruptness of the reversal.
The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led some to speculate Earth’s magnetic poles are about to ‘flip’
