Listen Later

Here in this episode, we go over why Earth acted like a giant magnet and the fact that the magnetic poles are not stationary. It is speculated to have been caused by convection currents and the proof for magnetic poles not being stationary is the strips or bands of differently aligned batches of magma in the mid ocean ridges.


Then we also cover about earths magnetic field lines as well. How can we not talk about Auroras however?
