NASA Is Tracking a Vast, Growing Anomaly in Earth's Magnetic Field
Science Alert ^ | 18 August 2020 | PETER DOCKRILL

NASA is actively monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.

I blame it on iron deposits from all the tragic boating accidents lately.

Isn’t that the approximate location of the Nazca figures?

The other day, I read an article about how the US government is looking into moving from GPS navigation to magnetic field navigation. While GPS mapping is more accurate, it is more susceptible to sabotage and other defensive countermeasures. Not sure if this particular anomaly would affect potential navigational tools.

Now you’re on to something.

New York can tax trucks more and instate a moratorium on businesses leaving the state.

“This is not new. Its known as the SAA, South Atlantic Anomaly”

Yup, know it well. The whipping boy of many failure investigations. Best bet, if its in LEO, shut it down when over the SAA. Either that or pay lots of extra bucks to harden the asset.

My question was when and how is the heat buildup released? Is it on a continuous basis, or in cycles? Are volcanoes able to handle increases alone, or maybe mid-ocean ridges unzip, etc?

“Those metals that are heavier and more dense would be at the center, iron would be on top of them, further out from the center. “

The center (inner core) is not a liquid. The outer core is a hoot turbulent mass. The. gold. is dissolved in the Iron.

“Earth gets its interior heat from leftover friction from its original gravitational contraction and the decay of radioactive heavy elements in the core. “

Gravity causes the condensation of the liquid outer core Releasing great amounts of heat.

Then why do they use iron pots to melt gold?................

More space radiation also means more cloud cover which means cooling. As Ned Stark would say, “Winter is Coming !”.

That would be impossible on Earth. Only could Jupiter withstand such an immense gravitational force.

Unless it’s aliens, then all bets are off.

It's the area where the Nazis set up shop after the war.
