Earth’s magnetic field is decaying at such a rapid rate that scientists think the poles may flip. New research shows the most significant weakening is happening under Africa, in an area called the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly.’

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), which stretches from Zimbabwe all the way to Chile, is of particular interest to scientists because of its dramatic weakening. The field is now so weak that it’s hazardous for satellites to enter that region.

It’s thought that the SAA might be a harbinger of an impending pole reversal since the force field has weakened significantly and scientists have suggested that it could be in the process of flipping.

As well as giving us our north and south poles, the magnetic field blankets the Earth, protecting it from solar winds and cosmic radiation. Without it there would likely be no life on our planet today.

Researchers gathered data from sites in southern Africa and compiled a record of Earth’s magnetic field strength over many centuries.

The researchers gathered their data from ancient African clay remnants dating back to the early and late Iron Ages. These artifacts allowed them to study past magnetic fields using “archaeomagnetism.”

They discovered that the magnetic field in the region fluctuated several times in the past 1600 years. This leads them to believe that the SAA is the most recent display of a recurring phenomenon in Earth’s core beneath Africa that then affects the entire globe.

Researchers are getting stronger evidence that there’s something unusual about the core-mantel boundary under Africa that could be having an important impact on the global magnetic field. But say they are uncertain whether this behavior will lead to a full pole reversal.

The Biblical prophecies foretell that the foundations of the earth will shake with earthquakes and the earth will turn upside down in the Last Days. (Isaiah 24, Matthew 24).
