As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching ...
even reaching the equator. This unpredictable behavior disrupts geomagnetic stability on a planetary scale. Some scientists speculate past magnetic flips contributed to species extinctions ...
The Earth’s magnetic field is twice as intense at the poles as at the equator. We know this thanks to instruments on ...
