| Mar 16, 2017 at 4:38 | comment | added | Gimelist | A magnetic pole reversal occurs when the field intensity is going down, crosses zero, becomes negative and "comes out of the other side". It does not occur due to rotation of the entire thing. So the magnetic north doesn't migrate south, cross the equator, and then end up in the south pole. | |
