關於本電子書
Through a systematic examination of paleomagnetic research and modern satellite data, the book reveals how scientists study magnetic minerals in rocks and seafloor spreading patterns to understand past magnetic reversals. Particularly intriguing is the connection between magnetic field variations and their influence on everything from species migration patterns to the vulnerability of modern power grids and communication systems.
The text skillfully bridges the gap between complex geophysical concepts and their practical implications, making it accessible to both academic and general audiences. The book progresses logically from basic principles of geomagnetism to more complex topics, organized in three comprehensive sections covering planetary magnetic fields, geological evidence of past reversals, and current prediction models.
By incorporating recent findings from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite mission alongside established research, it provides readers with both historical context and contemporary insights into our planet's magnetic behavior, while maintaining a careful balance between scientific rigor and practical application.
