Chapter 10 Earth Magnetic Field Mechanism


Sunlight on earth is alternating current in the atmosphere induced by the light on the Sun.

Sunlight on earth is moving westward at 1,000 mi/hr at the equator as the earth spins.

This movement induces an east-west direction current in the atmosphere.

This current in the atmosphere induces compasses to point to the north.

This current also accelerates away from the equator to the poles to create polar lights.

The earth’s magnetic field is not from the molten iron core.

There will be no magnetic pole reverse unless the earth spins the other way.

Earth’s magnetic field is a misinterpretation of this circular electric current on earth.

Earth has this special east-west direction electric current in the atmosphere. Birds sense this current to navigate. We, too, use compasses to sense this current to navigate.
