Remnants of an ancient planet buried inside the Earth may be the cause of a weak spot in the magnetic field
Earth’s suit of geomagnetic armor has a chink, and it’s growing.
A weak spot in our planet’s magnetic field, located above the southern Atlantic Ocean, has been increasing in size over the last two centuries, and it’s starting to split in two.
Link to gigantic blobs inside EarthAubert thinks that the dent may have a connection to two gigantic blobs of dense rock buried 1,800 miles inside the Earth. Because of their makeup, the blobs disturb the liquid metal in the outer core that generates the magnetic field.
Both blobs are “millions of times larger than Mount Everest in terms of volume,†according to Qian Yuan, a researcher studying geodynamics at Arizona State University.
Yuan’s team thinks the blobs are otherworldly in origin: After an ancient, Mars-sized planet careened into Earth, it might have left these pieces behind.
