Earth, magnetic field and loggerhead sea turtle

Earth’s magnetic field triggers a superpower in sea turtles that makes them ‘dance’
This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.
Sea turtles use Earth's magnetic field like an invisible map
Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.
An ancient tree revealed the tale of Earth's magnetic field reversal
A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the story of temporary environmental chaos,
Sea Turtles Dance to Orientate With Earth's Magnetic Field, Study Reveals
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
‘Secret GPS’: Sea turtles use magnetic superpower to surf vast oceans for treats, home
This new research provides the first concrete evidence that loggerhead turtles hone this remarkable ability. This superpower probably gui
How sea turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a GPS for precise ocean journeys
In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic locations, effectively creating their own internal GPS system that helps them navigate back to important feeding grounds.
