The magnetic field has decreased in strength through recent years. In the early 21st century the field has decreased its strength 1.7%, on average. In some areas of the field, the strength has decreased as much as 10%. The reversal might happen in the next few thousand years. It has been shown that the movement of the magnetic poles is related to the decreasing strength of the magnetic field.
