Earth’s
Magnetic Fields, Reversals, Global Warming, and Global
Cooling
The premise for this article is “the heat of the interior of the earth will causes repeated episodes of ionization and separation of charges in the center of the earth, and with the rotation of the earth causing the charges to be in circular motion resulting in two magnetic fields being produced, one due to electrons and one due to positive charges.” In the following figure the electrons in the mantel are represented by blue dots. They are free to move radially outward or inward depending on the heat of the interior of the earth and on the electrostatic force due to the positive charges. Their motion is relative to an observer on the surface of the earth where electrons have zero relative velocity while particles on the center of the earth have a velocity of approximately 463 meters per second. The positive charges in the solid core and the liquid core are represented by red dots. The positive charges in the solid core cannot move unless the solid core moves; however, the positive charges in the liquid core are free to move under various causes. The positive charges are believed to be in an atomic state rather then in a molecular state, a fact that will be utilized at a later time.
The magnetic field produced by the electrons is given by the “left-hand” rule: when the electrons are moving in the direction of the thumb, the field is given by the direction the fingers are pointing. This is shown in the figure by a black “x” indicating the tail of the arrow. The point of the arrow is shown by a green dot. This is indicative of a normal field; however, the field of the earth does not coincide with the axis of rotation of the earth, and both magnetic poles are approximately 20 degrees away from geographic poles. The strength of the field weakens as the cloud moves toward the crust and this would be due to decreasing relative velocity. An increase of heat at the center of earth also produces more positive charges as well as more electrons, but the increase in electrons is negated by the electron cloud moving radially outward. As the normal field weakens the field due to positive charges increases, leading to a reversal. The reverse field is due to positive charges and is shown in the figure as red dots. The positive charges have a higher relative velocity than the electrons. Therefore the reverse field would be significant. These two vector fields determine the magnetic field measured on the surface.
Now assume that the iron ion is the one encircled in the liquid core. This ion is influenced by the magnetic field produced by electrons and is in motion due to the earth’s rotation. This motion in a magnetic field induces a force as indicated in the magnified circle. This is the familiar mass spectrometer formula which states that a charged particle moving in a magnetic field will result in a force on the charged particle. This is true for any motion except motion parallel to the magnetic field. The field is down for particles in the liquid core. The force is outward and the velocity of the iron ion is in an eastward direction. The sum total of all the forces imposed on atoms in the liquid core cannot be determined; however, if one considers that the solid core is known to be increasing its rate of rotation by one revolution in 400 years then this is an increasing energy input into the solid core. If one estimates the length of this warming period to be about 800,000 years, then dividing this number by 400 will yield 2000 rotations. The motion of the core might be due to increasing rotation of the liquid core. This represents global warming. When reversal occurs, the magnetic force on the charged particles in the liquid core will cease to exist, which will result in cooling of the interior of the earth, eventually leading to cooling of the earth and global cooling.
In summary it has been shown how the earth’s two magnetic fields have been generated and how they have accounted for reversals. In addition the concept of global warming of the interior of the earth has also accounted for the global warming experienced on the earth. When the source of this force is lost due to reversal then global cooling will ensue. In conclusion all of these phenomena are related to the earth’s magnetism.
