Earth's magnetic pole reversal is happening faster than we previously thought - A new research in 2020 suggests - TheUnblog
Scientists using simulations in the lab have revealed that changes in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field may take place 10 times faster than previously thought. Will we know the difference? -
