In this article, the author details how the magnetic field on earth is created and how it affects earth systems. The author then discusses how we now believe there was a “reversal of the magnetic field” and how this event has most likely led to "a broad range of environmental consequences" like the extinction of certain species and chaotic weather patterns. The author is able to inform the audience through the use of diagrams and linked reference material such as previous studies and current empirical data. From a link within the article, I looked further into "A global environmental crisis 42,000 years ago," which goes into further detail than the main article I have chosen.
