Geomagnetic reversal refers to the complete reversal of the earth's magnetic field. It is also known as magnetic reversal, polarity reversal, magnetic field reversal, and polarity flip. The term magnetic reversal describes the phenomenon of the earth's magnetic field, that flips polarity from north to south. Moreover, polarity reversal and magnet reversal are also used interchangeably in this regard. The term polar flip is used to describe the rapid change in the orientation of the magnetic poles. Magnetic field reversal is used to describe the entirety of the reorientation of the magnetic field, rather than just the shifting of the poles.
