The geologic record shows that hundreds of pole reversals have occurred throughout Earth's history; they happen when patches of iron atoms in Earth's liquid outer core become reverse-aligned like tiny magnets oriented in the opposite direction from those around them.
According to John Tarduno professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester a strong magnetic field helps protect Earth from blasts of radiation from the sun. Coronal mass ejections (CMES) occasionally occur on the Sun
The first proof is the geologic record. When the last pole switch happened no worldwide shifting of continents
and other records said Alan Thompson head of geomagnetism at The british Geological Survey. The scientists explained that changes in the Earth's liquid core happen on a completely different distance and timescale than convection in the Earth's mantle
(which causes Earth's tectonic plates to shift moving the continents). The liquid core does indeed touch the bottom of the mantle
but it would take tens of millions of years for changes in the core to propagate up through the mantle and influence the motion of the tectonic plates.
In short there is no evidence from the geological past and in my opinion also no conceivable method that magnetic reversals could trigger Earthquakes Korte said.

This study is based on a comprehensive set of eleven global hydrological models forced by five global climate models--a simulation ensemble of unprecedented size
Now a new analysis combining climate agricultural and hydrological models finds that shortages of freshwater used for irrigation could double the detrimental effects of climate change on agriculture.
But hydrological models looking at the effect of warming climate on freshwater supplies project further agricultural losses due to the reversion of 20 to 60 million hectares of currently irrigated fields back to rain-fed crops.
Agricultural models and hydrological models both incorporate the influence of climate but are designed by different scientific communities for different purposes.
and other climate factors may alter the yield for various crops hydrological models seek to estimate water-related characteristics such as stream flow water availability and storm runoff.
But when Elliott and colleagues fed each type of model with the same climate model forecasts the models produced dramatically different predictions about the future demand for freshwater irrigationthe researchers discovered discrepancies in how hydrological models incorporate processes such as the carbon cycle
which a multi-model ensemble of hydrological models was compared to a multi-model ensemble of crop models Elliott said.
Several modeling groups have changed already the way that they are modeling the hydrological cycle with respect to crops because of the results of this paper.
