Answer: Magnetic field reverses.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of the Earth is generated due to the presence of iron and other magnetic materials in molten form in the outer core of the Earth. History suggests that the magnetic field of the Earth was in a reversed states during stone age. And it might happen in future. The domains realign as the Earth is continuously in motion. When the reversed domains dominate, magnetic field reversal occurs.
