The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis is a pseudo-scientific claim that there have been recent, geologically rapid shifts in the axis of rotation of Earth, causing calamities such as floods and tectonic events [1] or relatively rapid climate changes. There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer ...
A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's dipole magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged (not to be confused with geographic north and geographic south ). The Earth's magnetic field has alternated between periods of normal polarity, in which the predominant direction of the field was ...
Laschamp event. The Laschamp or Laschamps event [note 1] was a geomagnetic excursion (a short reversal of the Earth's magnetic field). It occurred between 42,200 and 41,500 years ago, during the end of the Last Glacial Period. It was discovered from geomagnetic anomalies found in the Laschamps and Olby lava flows near Clermont-Ferrand, France ...
Polar drift. Polar drift is a geological phenomenon caused by variations in the flow of molten iron in Earth's outer core, resulting in changes in the orientation of Earth's magnetic field, and hence the position of the magnetic north - and south poles . The North magnetic pole is approximately 965 kilometres (600 mi) from the geographic North ...
t. e. The 2012 phenomenon was a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events would occur on or around 21 December 2012. [1] [2] [3] This date was regarded as the end-date of a 5,126-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, [4] and festivities took place on 21 December 2012 to commemorate the event in ...
Tamsin Hughes. . . ( m. 1941; div. 1955) . Charles Hutchins Hapgood (May 17, 1904 – December 21, 1982) [1] was an American college professor and author who became one of the best known advocates of the pseudo-scientific claim of a rapid and recent pole shift with catastrophic results.
This linguist predicted the end would occur in this year. He did not predict how it would occur, stating that it might involve nuclear devastation, asteroid impact, pole shift or other Earth changes. [154] Hon-Ming Chen The leader of the cult Chen Tao preached that a nuclear holocaust would destroy Europe and Asia in 1999. [155] James Gordon ...
Laschamp event, a short reversal that occurred 41,000 years ago. Reversal of the solar magnetic field. Magnetization reversal, a process leading to a 180° reorientation of the magnetization vector with respect to its initial direction. Polarity reversal (seismology), a local amplitude seismic anomaly.
