A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic field weakened, leading to a rise in oxygen that drove an explosion of multicellular organisms during the Ediacaran ...
The planet's magnetic field may have collapsed around 600 million years ago, enabling a major oxygenation event and perhaps supercharging evolution. A near collapse of Earth's magnetic field may ...
Decreased protection from cosmic radiation may have increased oxygen levels in the atmosphere and oceans, allowing animals to grow larger.
But we know, the magnetic field is there to protect us from solar winds. Then, how come its absence actually fuelled life on Earth? Earth's magnetic field is essentially the great protector of the ...
Earth's magnetic field nearly collapsed about 590 million years ago, likely putting life on the planet's surface at risk from rising cosmic radiation. According to new research, the temporary ...
The Earth’s magnetic field serves as the planet’s primary shield, protecting it from the Sun’s strong cosmic radiation. However, recent research claims that the Earth’s magnetic field dissipated some ...
Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. The protective bubble over the atmosphere shields the planet from solar radiation, winds, cosmic rays and wild swings in ...
