In the Earth (see image below right), the liquid metal that makes up the outer core passes through a magnetic field, which causes an electric current to flow within the liquid metal. The electric ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

The iron's flow spawns electrical currents that then ... Fields marked with an * are required Aportion of the Earth's ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

The best answer at present is that the slow flow of matter in its fluid core generates electric currents, which in turn set up a magnetic field By Walter M. Elsasser Join Our Community of Science ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

When the Earth’s magnetic field is strong, as it is today, the amount of carbon generated by this interaction is relatively low, but it spikes when the magnetic field weakens and allows more ...
