What is the term for the apparent tendency of the north magnetic pole to vary in positions over time?
Polar wander
What is polar displacement?
Polar displacement. I think what your referring to if we are talking in a geological sense is actually called polar wandering and it is the apparent movement of the north and south poles over geological time however the poles are actually not the objects moving it is the continental landmasses under plate tectonics moving the land under the poles. The poles do move slightly before they reverse however plate tectonics is the main cause of polar wandering.

What is transport wander in free gyroscope?
Transport wander of a gyroscope is apparent when the gyroscope crosses a meridian that is converging with another. So, at any latitude other than the Equator, any East-West movement will cause transport wander. As North-South movement involves tracking along a meridian (and not crossing) then no transport wander occurs. Although East-West movement along the Equator does involve crossing meridians, because all meridians are parallel at the Equator no transport wander occurs.
Is wander a verb?
No, wander is not a verb

How magnetic reversal happened?
The Earth's magnetic field is created by electric currents flowing roughly parallel to the Equator. There is not necessarily just the one electrical path, and what we see is the net result of several paths. It follows that if some of the paths are more convoluted that others, the apparent Pole will move accordingly. At the moment in the South Atlantic there is an area that appears to be reversing its polarity. There is little firm data as to the time a reversal takes. The Earth's magnetic field seems to protect the Earth from a flow of charged particles, or rather, it concentrates them in polar regions.
