Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...

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 ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...

Iron is magnetic so the liquid iron causes Earth to have a magnetic field. The needle of a compass is a small magnet that can turn. It turns around until its own magnetic field lines up with the ...

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 ...

Funding sources: $50K (2018-2021) from NSF Statistics Program PI: Tomoko Matsuo (CU-Boulder) Collaborators: University of California at Davis, NOAA NCEI Societal relevance: An accurate modeling of the ...

Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field can determine increases in module fill factor and falls in maximum power. Researchers at the Multimedia University of Kenya have claimed the Earth ...
