Did you know Earth's magnetic field isn't just constant? It drifts and even FLIPS over time! 🌍⚑ This 'geomagnetic reversal' has happened many timesβ€”last 780,000 years ago. When poles swap, the field weakens, exposing us to extra radiation. Could we be due for another flip? The field is weakening now, sparking urgent research! #EarthScience #GeomagneticReversal #MagneticField #SolarRadiation #PlanetEarth #NatureMysteries (1/1)
