Reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field means, the magnetic poles of the Earth have shifted in short amounts of time, and many more times than once or twice; and the shifts (which are recorded in ferrous rocks that used to be molten lava) are not related to continental drift.

Something like every 300,000 years.

I do remember the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake causing a measurable shift of this earth, and then again with the recent quake near Japan. What I have not read is which direction from polar north the earth shifted.
