Catastrophic consequences

So describe several scientists what could happen if the Earth's magnetic field continues to suffer a series of anomalies that could end in an inversion of its poles, according to data from the European Space Agency (ESA).

That information, which was published by the Daily Mail, reveals that the "shield" that protects the Earth from sunlight is weakening with greater impact in South America and South Africa.

To this event, experts have called it the South Atlantic Anomaly.

The details of the ESA explain that the liquid iron currents under the surface of the Earth are moving very fast, which could suggest that the poles are about to get "upside down".

Scientists explained that the consequences of this phenomenon, which occurred for the last time 780,000 years ago, is that the Earth could experience "catastrophic" climate changes and faults in its electrical system, according to the Canadian scientist Alana Mitchell.

He added that large areas of the planet could be uninhabitable. The experts did not immediately reveal how many years it would take to register this phenomenon again.

In addition, the electromagnetic field can be further weakened by this inversion of poles, which would give way to solar winds and increases in radiation levels,

Another effect would be the elimination of power grids throughout the world and irreparable damage to communication satellites if the magnetic field continues to weaken as it would give way to solar winds and increases in radiation levels.

According to the Physical Review Letters magazine, if this occurs "they could paralyze the modern technological infrastructure and endanger the lives of astronauts in space".

They explained that historically, the north and south magnetic poles are reversed every 200,000 or 300,000 years and from then on they gradually return to their Norman position. However, they warn that currently the life of the human being revolves around telephones, computers, heating and an electricity-based industry, the consequences for civilization could be catastrophic.
