Exploring the dynamics of Earth's geomagnetic field, generated by the geodynamo effect in the outer core. This field is crucial for protecting the planet from solar wind and plays a significant role in navigation and animal migration. Historical pole reversals and the study of paleomagnetism provide insights into Earth's geological past and tectonic movements.
