ESA swarm satellites discovers Electrical Nature of Earth planet

 

 

Scientists discovered the electrical nature of inner Earth through ESA's Swarm satellites

ESA’s Swarm Satellites have led to new discoveries about the electrical nature of the Earth.

The magnetic field protect us from the harmful cosmic radiation from the sun and because of this magnetic field life is possible on Earth.

The magnetic field originates from the different parts of the Earth and they all generate a magnetism some little or some more.

Magnetic force from the oceans, response in Mantle

It was also discovered that when salty water flows through the oceans a magnetic current is generated and because of this it induces a response in the Mantle (Earth’s Crust).

Mantle is the small portion of the Earth’s crust and it is always challenging for the scientists to measure it from the space through the satellites.

Discoveries shows that inside the earth’s surface about 350 km, the degree to which material conducts is related to composition.

This also indicates that in the future the 3D view of conductivity can be possible below the ocean.
