The Cause of the Earth's Magnetic Field

The prevailing theory of the cause of the Earth's Magnetic Field

has some major problems explaining:

 

 

  • Fluctuations (instability) of the strength of the Earth's magnetic field.

  • The South Atlantic Anomaly.

  • Many of the crust anomalies (for instance the African crust anomaly).

  • The reversal of the Magnetic Poles every 200,000 years.

  • The coinciding periods (of thousands of years) of correlation between the Earth’s global temperature and the strength of the Earth’s global magnetic field .

  • The periodical decreasing of the Earth's magnetic field to only a few percent of its average strength.

  • The correlation between Magnetic Anomalies & Thermal Activities.

  • The periodic emergence of 2 (or possibly 4) different Magnetic South and North poles.

 

 All these mysteries cannot be explained with the old
 "Inner Dynamo" theory.

 A new theory can easily explain all these Mysteries.

 
 1.Introduction

 

The commonly accepted "Inner Dynamo" theory cannot explain majority of the Earth's magnetic anomalies (for example, why the Earth's magnetic field is periodically reversing its poles or why it operates sometimes at a fraction of its average strength).

The magnetic field produced by such "inner dynamo" mechanism should be as stable as the stable spin of the Earth.  
These magnetic anomalies are so strange that they could only be compared to the Earth reversing its spin, or reducing its rotational speed (so that a 24 hour day becomes a 1,000 hour day.)

 

However, all these mysterious magnetic phenomena can be easily explained in the light of a new and long-awaited theory of the cause of the Earth’s magnetic field.  This new theory also provides unique predictions regarding what will happen to the magnetic field of the Earth within the next couple of years. It will become clear that the magnetic field of the Earth is solely generated in the Earth’s crust.
 
Until now, the following points have been underestimated or not fully understood:

  • The magnetic material in the Earth’s crust is enough to create a global magnetic field.

  • The importance of the 'frozen' and 'non-frozen' magnetic structures in the Earth’s crust.

  • The primary power behind magnetic integration (thereby strengthening or weakening the global magnetic field).

 2. The magnetic basic state of the Earth

 
Today it is known that the magnetic field of the Earth goes through periods that
are dominated by "magnetic chaos".
 
During these periods:
 

  • 2 to 4 Magnetic North and South poles exist.

  • The magnetic strength of the global field is be reduced to maximum of 10% of the normal strength.

  • Magnetic alliances interact with each other whereby they can either get strengthened or weakened.

 

From a scientific perspective, no one has realised that it is in this “magnetic chaos” where we find the key to understanding all of the mysterious anomalies of the Earth’s magnetic field.
 
It is important to understand that this chaotic magnetic state
is, in reality, the basic state of the Earth’s magnetic field.
 
It is well known that during periods of this "magnetic chaos" the strength of the global magnetic field is only (maximum) 10% of the normal (average) strength.

 

The remaining 90 % of the maximum strength is created when the fragmented magnetic alliances (in the basic state) gather to form a global magnetic field. The new theory calls this phenomenon ”magnetic integration.

 
 3. The old theory doesn't make sense.

 

The "basic magnetic state" is a very strange phenomenon but only hard to explain when the global magnetic field is considered to be the result of an electromagnetic circuit powered by an inner dynamo.

 
Periods of a weak and chaotic magnetic field are always followed by periods when, once again, a global magnetic field is created. What we see is really nothing more than the simple ferromagnetic (continental) alliances which eventually integrate into a global magnetic field again. There is simply no use at all for an inner dynamo theory. All we need is to understand how chaotic and disrupted magnetic fields re-integrate into a global magnetic field and how this field turns back to a period of weakness and disruption.

 

An electromagnetic circuit that periodically splits up into several electromagnetic circuits and then ends up as one circuit once again might be considered, at first, as a possible explanation, but in the long run such an explanation simply does not make any sense at all. Time will soon show that it was accepted only because there was no alternative explanation of this strange behaviour of the Earth’s magnetic field.

 

 4. Magnetic Integration & Disintegration

 

It is a well known fact that the magnetic field of the Earth has integrating and self-perpetuating properties.
For instance
, an iron bar placed
vertically on the northern hemisphere would immediately create a magnetic north at the top of the bar. As a result, such a bar (to a small degree) would become integrated into the global magnetic field of the Earth and contribute to its total strength. On the other hand any ”frozen magnetic structures” of the iron bar would point in random directions and causing both interrupting and weakening effects.

 
The new theory is based on the assumption that the integrating and self-perpetuating qualities of the magnetic field are the primary cause of the global properties of the Earth's magnetic field (and its strange behavior).
In the beginning,
relatively small and strong magnetic areas in the crust, in a self-perpetuating process, became bigger and combined their strength to become the magnetic fields of whole continents and eventually united into the global magnetic field of the planet.

 
Places deep in the Earth’s crust (where the temperature is higher than on the surface, but still below the Curie point) provide optimal conditions for the process of magnetic integration. The magnetic resistance is lower in these warmer areas and the amount of disruptive, 'frozen' magnetic structures is significantly reduced.

 

Even though some of the magnetic strength is lost there due to heating up the magnetic material, the overall result is a substantial gain in the magnetic strength because the magnetic flexibility of the material below Curie point which after alignment with the global field, contributes greatly to its overall value (and easily compensates for what is lost by the influence of heat (above Curie temperature).
 
Another point is that the Earth’s over land is many times thicker than over the oceans. As a result, the magnetic integration and strength of the magnetic field should be stronger over the two northern continents.
 In contrast, the southern hemisphere does not have such large land masses and therefore contributes much less to the global field. The magnetic strength in the southern hemisphere can then (to a certain degree) be seen as a result of the strong magnetic poles of the northern hemisphere.

 

This theory also implies that global magnetic integration and disintegration has different periods. Later on, this article will explain this further.  Each continent will during these periods have its own magnetic field and thus also its own magnetic north and south pole.

 

Even our modern magnetic maps show that the 2 great northern continents have 2 strong magnetic areas: one over northern Siberia and the other over North America.

 

The new theory implies that during the last phase of periods characterized by the basic magnetic state, magnetic integration between the two northern continents takes place.

 

During periods when continental magnetic field strength is great, a strong integrated global crust field is easily stretched to the area of the geographical south pole. This dominating northern magnetic influence on the southern hemisphere results in the creation of a common global Magnetic South Pole (MSP) on the southern hemisphere.

 

The opposite happens during periods of serious weakening of the continental magnetic strength which brings disintegration of the global magnetic field of the Earth. The result is a reduction of the range of continental magnetic influence to the point when eventually they are not able to maintain the necessary magnetic strength it takes to have MSP positioned far away from the borders of the continents.

 

During such periods, both continents will show increasing signs of magnetic disruption and it will be harder and harder for them to share 1 common magnetic south pole. As a result, the Eurasian magnetic field will draw back its share of the magnetic south pole in the direction of its own continental magnetic north pole and the same thing will occur to the combined field of the North and South American continents.

 

 

Continued global disintegration (that started 3000 years ago) will gradually weaken the earths magnetic extend. 

 

The main reason for this is magnetic entanglement. North Canada has been most affected, and therefore the combined North and South American magnetic field is weakening dramatically

 
 The magnetic weakness we now see in the Atlantic Ocean (called "The South Atlantic anomaly") is in reality the first serious sign of a period when the global magnetic field has begun the process of a separation into two or several parts. It seems that the pperiod of the basic magnetic state has already started.

 

Our scientific community believes that the global weakening of the magnetic field will continue and that a magnetic poles reversal is about to happen.

 

In the light of my new theory, this is an incorrect prediction.  The opposite is about to happen: two large independent continental magnetic fields will integrate into one global and strong magnetic field (the Global magnetic integration).

 

5. The Big Question  

What is responsible for this global magnetic integration or disintegration that the magnetic field of the Earth periodically goes through?
 

First of all, the final global integration of the magnetic fields of two northern continents must occur in a very strategic area (at the "weakest" points). Seen from the northern hemisphere perspective, the Arctic Ocean is an area of special strategic interest.

In the Arctic Ocean we find one of the biggest and strongest magnetic anomalies on Earth, therefore, this strong magnetic area is the most obvious area to bring to our attention.

 

It is reasonable to accept that this area is the natural place where two big continental ferromagnetic fields are gathered into one global field.

 
It's especially important to understand that the thermal heat that we find in the ar
ctic ocean zone can certainly cause frozen magnetic structures in that area to loosen up and by making magnetic "power lines" much more flexible, allow a huge amount of magnetic structures to change and align in new directions (dictated by the global magnetic field).

 

As soon as the Magnetic North Pole (MNP) arrives to a huge thermal area, it makes it much easier for a huge amount of magnetic "power lines" to align with with the rest of the crust. That certainly reinforces the global magnetic strength.

 

The heat of the Arctic Ocean causes magnetic structures in this area to be less ”frozen” (compared to colder underground places) and more magnetically flexible.  As a result, such an area can adapt more easily to prevailing magnetic direction.

 

It is very important to notice that when the MNP enters (and moves through) such a warm area, the strength of the global magnetic field is bound to increase.

 

Because the strong MNP is able to free and "re-align" more and more frozen magnetic structures in its way, the global magnetic field (and thereby the MNP) increases its strength year after year. This almost never ending, self-perpetuating process takes place in the 'wake' of the traveling MNP (but only so long the MNP is inside the borders of the thermally heated area). We can say that when the MNP is inside the thermally heated area, it is "tiding up" the magnetic chaos.

 

It is therefore especially important that MNP (or both) of the magnetic poles is situated above a warm thermal area, which has not been the case of the Earth’s Magnetic North Pole in the past (for several periods).

 

Paleo magnetic data seems to confirm that the MNP is (periodically in the past) situated over the  great magnetic anomaly in the Arctic Ocean where strong thermal activity is going on to a depth of up to 5,000 meters. This means that the magnetic field of the Earth is in a period of integration.

 

This apparent ”triviality” is decisive in regards to whether or not our two big continents (over long periods) are able to magnetically integrate with each other (and therefore grow in magnetic strength).

 

 
 

 

PREDICTIONS

 

The MNP is right now arriving at the great magnetic anomaly of the Arctic Ocean (look at the image above the "cross").

This will certainly start a period of magnetic integration very soon, which means that the Earth's global magnetic field will again begin to increase (a 3000 year period of a decrease in global strength is now over).

It is expected that the speed the MNP is moving at will be reduced within the next few years down to 75% of its current velocity.
 

Furthermore, it is expected that the MNP will stay within the borders of the great magnetic anomaly of the Arctic Ocean for at least 1000 years (this estimate is also supported by the paleo magnetic data).
 

It is also expected that the next solar storm will further increase the Earth’s magnetic field and that this field will retain the greater part of this newly increased strength.

 

 

Notice the green 'number 8' in the image to the right. This roughly illustrates the 'path' the magnetic North pole has been travelling over the past 3,000 years

 

While the MNP travels through the cold underground it has a decreasing effect on the global magnetic field. The MNP movement around cold magnetic areas 'pulls' magnetic power lines in its 'wake'. Many of these new directions of the magnetic power lines freeze in different directions. After hundreds of years these magnetic power lines no longer point exactly to the MNP but, over time, point in the direction to where MNP once was. As a result the MNP movement in cold areas contributes to a disrupted and decreasing global magnetic field in its 'wake'. This is exactly what has been happening during the last 3,000 years, and that is why the global magnetic field has been decreasing so much though time.

 

The faster the  MNP is moving around in cool areas, the more it disrupts the magnetic field of these areas which it turn diminishes the global magnetic field.  During such periods the MNP is entangling many of the Earth's magnetic power lines by pointing them into increasingly chaotic magnetic directions. This of course is noticeably weakening the global magnetic field.
The conclusion is simple
: the faster and wider the MNP travels over "cool" areas of the crust, the faster and wider it entangles the magnetic lines in its way causing reduction of the strength of the global magnetic field.

Paleo magnetic data shows that as long as the magnetic field of the Earth is weak just as long will MNP be "maintained" in the Arctic Ocean. - The thermal area of the Arctic Ocean has therefore both a special integrating and balancing magnetic effect on the weak magnetic global field of the Earth. We can say that the artic ocean in weak magnetic periods can keep the MNP quit and give the global magnetic field magnetic 'ground connection'.

Paleo magnetic data shows that as long as the global magnetic field of the Earth is weak, the MNP is being kept in this area (currently in the Arctic Ocean area). The thermal area of the Arctic Ocean has therefore both integrating and balancing effects during periods with weak global magnetic field of the Earth. We can say that the Arctic Ocean, during "weak" magnetic periods, keeps the MNP steady and gives the global magnetic field a 'ground connection'.

 
It has to be noted that during periods of magnetic integration it is not sufficient that
the MNP or the magnetic South Pole (MSP) are situated over big thermal magnetic anomalies. That is just a prerequisite condition required for strengthening the field. 

 

It is known that the magnetic field of the Earth is ”raised” through the help of contributions from especially sun storms. – MNP (and SMP) favourable placement means that the magnetic field of the Earth probably much easier can maintain these regularly received contributions and this will have a self-perpetuating effect.

It is known that the Earth's magnetic field is ”raised” with the contribution of sun storms. The MNP (and SMP) favourable placement means that the Earth's magnetic field can more easily maintain these regularly received solar "magnetic contributions" and that this has a self-perpetuating effect.

 

It is important to monitor the growing strength of the magnetic field of the Earth during and after the next sun storm to see how much of this magnetic contribution is absorbed.

 

Whether the Earth's magnetic strength is increasing or decreasing also depends on the Earth's magnetic susceptibility at different periods which in turn depends on (as we mentioned earlier)  the favourable placement of the MNP (and MSP).

 

As already mentioned, some magnetic contributions to Earth's magnetic field come from the Sun (from its highly active and quiet periods).

 

It is expected that the long term magnetic susceptibility is much greater during periods when the global field is increasing its magnetic strengths than during periods when the global magnetic strength is decreasing. However it has not been possible to observe such long term effects because the Earth's magnetic strengths have been decreasing for the last 3,000 years.

 

Because this very long period of decrease in global magnetic strength is now finished, it will be possible to see how much the Earth's (new) magnetic susceptibility will be affected by the MNP favourable placement.

 

When local magnetic fields  (countries and continents) during periods of integration to a greater extend integrate with the global magnetic field, then of course a significant strengthening of the global magnetic field will take place.

A significant strengthening of the global magnetic field will take place while local (continental) magnetic fields  during periods integrate.

 
This is why
during the strong periods of integration magnetic strength is up to 15 times greater than during the periods characterized by the 'basic' magnetic state.

 
Therefore it is fairly
natural to assume that the greater part of the Earth's magnetic strength is caused by the magnetic integration occuring at any given time. With this said, it also becomes clear that the basic magnetic state characterized by a very weak global field is exactly the kind of period the Earth has been in the past 3,000 years.

 

 

 

 6. The Cause of the Disintegration of the Magnetic Field

 

 

The cause of the disintegration of the global magnetic field of the Earth is the MNP moving away from the magnetic anomaly of the Arctic Ocean towards areas that can be characterized by cold (frozen) magnetic structures. But it is also important how strong the intensity of the solar wind is.
 

When the global magnetic field of the Earth once again gains great magnetic strength, the point of global magnetic balance will no longer be maintained (maybe because one of the two continents becomes magnetically stronger than the other, causing the MNP to start moving away from the thermal area of the Arctic Ocean, or because the Arctic Ocean will no longer be able to dominate once the power of the continental field is increased). When the MNP moves out of the thermal area, (or a magnetic strong or neutral area)  a period characterized by magnetic disintegration will start.

 

 7. Continental Magnetic Anomalies

   

The strength and size of the continental magnetic anomalies should be seen as the result of the amount of materials that can be magnetized in the continental mass and the thermal heat in the crust of the Earth.

This is related to the fact that the warmer magnetic material of the crust (closer to the Curie temperature) can be more easily  magnetized and by ’freeing up’ frozen and disturbing magnetic structures, it can contribute to and reinforce the common magnetic field.

 

A thermal area in the crust of the Earth can more easily
