Deep inside the Earth is a molten core that generates a magnetic field that protects the planet from destructive solar winds. The protective field extends thousands of kilometers into space and its magnetism affects everything in human life – from animal migration to weather conditions, writes fedpost. However this magnetic field is incredibly important for all life on Earth, beyond the last 200 years has weakened by 15%. And that, scientists say, could be a sign that the poles of the earth are about to roll over. how experts believe this coup is not far off, but say exactly when this can happen, they cannot. If a coup happens, the planet will be unprotected from the solar winds, which easily destroy the ozone layer. This effect may to be disastrous for humanity by affecting the power grid, radically changing the climate and increasing the incidence of cancer. “It real danger, said Richard Holm, professor of Earth, the ocean and University of Liverpool Environmental Sciences. – Just imagine, what will happen if humanity is left without electricity on several months. It will be a collapse, because nowadays it’s practically all production depends on it. “The climate on Earth is radically will change. Scientists from Denmark believe that global warming directly related to the magnetic field, not CO2 emissions. According to the study, the Earth is experiencing a natural period low cloudiness due to fewer cosmic rays, penetrating into the atmosphere. The level of radiation on the surface of the planet will also increase. By some estimates, the total cosmic radiation penetrating Earth will increase by several times, due to which cancer mortality will increase at least twice. Researchers predict that in the event of a pole flip, each a year hundreds of thousands of people will die from rising levels cosmic radiation. Magnetosphere – the area of space around Earth, which is produced by the magnetic field of our planet. His presence means that charged particles of the solar wind cannot cross the lines of force of the magnetic field and deviate from their original territory, circling the earth. Currently space agencies tend to accept the threat of pole change seriously. In November, three spacecraft were launched with the goal of find out how the Earth’s magnetic field is changing. Mission plans provide the best magnetic field maps of the planet and help scientists understand the effect of space weather on satellite communications and GPS. The mission will also provide an opportunity to draw up a detailed map. Earth’s modern magnetic field, but historical facts, confirming the deterioration of his condition, already found in amazing source – an ancient pottery. Scientists have discovered that the ancient pots can act as a magnetic time capsule. By this they possess the property because they contain minerals based magnetite of iron. Scientists previously reported that what was observed in In recent years, the displacement of the Earth’s magnetic poles has stopped.
