This is what has happened when the magnetic poles flipped in the past. This could weaken Earth's protective magnetic field b up to 90% during a polar flip. Earth's magnetic field is what shields us from harmful space radiation which can damage calls, cause cancer, and fry electronic circuits and electrical grids.
