Field-aligned currents (FACs), which are electric currents flowing across the Earth’s magnetic field, could explain some of these asymmetries. For the peak at 70 degrees magnetic latitude, ...

Earth's magnetic field originates in the outer core and extends out into the magnetosphere — a region of space that helps protect Earth from space weather.

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core, through what's known as the dynamo theory.

150,000-year history of Earth's magnetic field reveals clues about the climate when early humans were spreading out of Africa; A mysterious, 100-year solar cycle may have just restarted; ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated in the liquid outer core by a dynamo process that converts the motion of electrically conductive fluid into electromagnetic energy.

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, ...

Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on the planet, but it isn’t something that we can typically see or hear. It’s basically a shield that protects the planet from the cosmic ...
