Hello!
Animals Use Earth’s Magnetic Field to Know Their Location
Yes, among amazing facts in science, sea animals have the ability to sense the magnetic fields of the earth for their orientation. According to the U.S. Geological Study, “There are pieces of evidence showing that some animals, like sea turtles and salmon, can sense the earth’s magnetic fields and use it for navigation.” But is the earth a magnet? Yes. The earth is composed of layers having different chemical compositions and physical properties. The crust of the earth has some magnetization while its core generates its own magnetic field.
