Researchers have spotted interesting changes in the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a region of Earth’s magnetic field that has a large dent. The area of weak magnetism appears to be splitting ...

Thousands of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a significant power surge over a part of the planet that included the ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia. People at the time probably never ...

"Our study provides the first long-term analysis of the magnetic field in this region dating back millions of years,” Engbers said. “It reveals that the anomaly in the magnetic field in the South ...

Part of Earth's magnetic field appears to be getting weaker, scientists have said. Using satellite data, researchers believe an "anomaly" in the South Atlantic may have split in two, with the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

A vast and evolving anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field, situated above South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean, continues to attract focused attention from NASA researchers. This region ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Earth's magnetic field has been acting a little wonky. One particular region, stretching from Africa to South America over the South Atlantic ocean, has experienced an intense weakening since the ...

Earth's magnetic field is shaking things up once again.. Sloshing liquid iron in Earth's outer core—which lies roughly 1,900 miles (3,200 kilometers) below us—generates our planet's protective ...

On the left, the Earth’s magnetic field we’re used to. On the right, a model of what the magnetic field might be like during a reversal. On the left, the Earth’s magnetic field we’re used ...

Scientists say ‘anomaly’ in Earth’s magnetic field is splitting By . Mike Wehner, BGR. Published Aug. 19, 2020, 4:18 p.m. ET. There are many reasons why life is able to exist on Earth.
