A recent study led by NASA has revealed a surprising connection between Earth’s magnetic field and the oxygen levels that ...

The moody sound bite comes from the magnetic field generated by Earth’s core and its interaction with a solar storm.Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on the planet, but it isn’t ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is considered vital for life, ... which posits that in a rotating core flows occur perpendicular ...

A magnetic field created by the outer core generates the spin and the mantle’s gravitational effects balance it out. Understanding how the inner core rotates could shed light on how all of the ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

In the mid-1990s scientists found evidence that Earth’s inner core, a superheated ball of iron slightly smaller than the moon, was spinning at its own pace, just a bit faster than the rest of ...

Earth’s magnetic field yanks at this solid ball of hot metal, making it spin. At the same time, the gravity and flow of the fluid outer core and mantle drag at the core.

When set spinning, the setup mimics the roiling liquid iron in the Earth’s outer core, which forms electrical currents that generate the magnetic field in a process called a dynamo.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

Geophysics models explain that, since the movement of a liquid metal induces electrical currents, and currents induce a magnetic field, convection and rotation produce our planet’s magnetic fields.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential for sustaining life, as it shields the planet from cosmic radiation and solar wind. It is generated by the geodynamo effect.

The Earth’s magnetic field is considered vital for life, ... which posits that in a rotating core flows occur perpendicular to the axis of rotation, making a series of concentric cylinders.
