Giant mysterious magnetic waves emanate from the Earth’s core every seven years
(ORDO NEWS) — It’s not very quiet inside the Earth. Deep below the surface, the planet is literally seething with activity, from plate tectonics to convection currents circulating in hot magma fluids. Now scientists studying data from Earth’s satellites have discovered something inside the Earth that we’ve never seen before: a new type of magnetic wave that travels across the surface of our planet’s core every seven years. This discovery…
