Firstly, Greenland will end up in the Southern hemisphere while Antarctica in the Northern hemisphere. Secondly, scientists believe that earth s magnetic field gets weaker before flipping. Now, magnetic field protects us from harmful solar winds, hence its weakening might cause serious health consequences. Thirdly, scientists also believe that before flipping, the weak magnetic field leads to the creation of multiple north and south poles on Earth for a short period of time. Fourthly, species such as pigeons, whales, bees etc. which rely on the magnetic field for navigation will get disoriented. Lastly, we will definitely need to buy a new compass.
