Science, Medicine & Health - Honours Theses
The magnetic field of Earth and its behaviour over time is linked to its origin within Earth’s liquid outer core. Complex internal processes that operate within the outer core are not only responsible for the creation of the geomagnetic field, but also the magnetic field’s strength, stability, and position on Earth. The magnetic field acts as a critical barrier of protection, shielding Earth from harmful solar radiation from the sun and confining Earth’s atmosphere beneath the exosphere. As Earth’s core evolves and cools over time, it releases heat at the core-mantle boundary (CMB), the magnetic field reflects this evolution by …
