I believe that is unknown.

An hypothesis is the geological poles can flip and there is some evidence to support this.

What seems to be occurring now is a magnetic pole shift. But since the last full magnetic flip was thousands of years ago, no scientist is quite sure if this new fluctuation will abate or carry through its full cycle.

Perhaps this has also been kicked off by the last few decades of unusual solar activity?
