The cracks in the earth's magnetic field have become even larger. A crack has broken into two pieces. As a result, terrestrial civilizations in the area will have to deal with horrific solar particles, solar radiation, and cosmic rays.
The US space agency NASA has given this news in a recent report. As a result, the International Space Station orbiting through the area could be damaged by critical equipment of various artificial satellites. Telecommunication, electricity connection and navigation system in the area may also be disrupted.
This magnetic field of the Earth surrounds our bluish planet and extends for millions of kilometers in space. Another name for it is 'Geomagnetic Field'. It is this magnetic field that saves us every moment from the scorching solar radiation and the toxic cosmic rays. When solar radiation and cosmic rays arrive, it is this magnetic field of the earth that pushes it away, as far as possible.
From the seventies of the last century, the earth's magnetic field began to weaken. That's when a huge crack appeared in this magnetic field. Its name is 'South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA)'. This fissure exists in the Earth's magnetic field over South America and the South Atlantic Ocean.
According to a recent NASA report, the Earth's magnetic field has weakened over the past 50 years. The cracks in the earth's magnetic field over South America and the South Atlantic Ocean have become so large in size that they have even broken in two. Made of two large cracks.
NASA observed, "The cracks in the Earth's magnetic field are gradually increasing towards the west. And the magnetic field in that area is getting weaker and weaker. ”
As a result, NASA has warned that the area is in danger in the coming days. For those who live in the area, the natural magnetic 'shield' to prevent the invasion of solar particles, solar radiation and cosmic rays has become weak enough. As a result, the International Space Station orbiting the Earth through that area could suffer catastrophic damage to vital parts of artificial satellites due to solar radiation and cosmic rays.
Earlier in May, the European Space Agency (ESA) reported that the Earth's magnetic field had weakened by 9 percent in the last 200 years. And in the area of the magnetic field where the crack has grown in size and broken into two pieces, the magnetic field has weakened by 8% in the last 50 years.
Scientists say that the cause of this increase in the Earth's magnetic field is geo-natural. These cracks have formed and are growing because the molten lava flow and the magnetic axis are tilted a little more deep inside the earth. The Earth's magnetic field is also increasing because the North and South Poles of the Earth are not properly north and south respectively.
