The Earth's magnetic field protects us from all the harmful effects that await us in space. Cosmic radiation and the solar wind don't even touch it, at least for the most part, so we Earthlings can live happily in our own peace. But what if this protective shell suddenly turned into camphor and we were left without a magnetosphere?

All of this is generated by the flowing motion of charged molten iron deep below the surface, in the Earth's outer core. 1:58 We'd get lost First of all, we wouldn't even know where we were, because our navigation devices work from the Earth's magnetism. Our traditional or digital compasses are actually tiny magnets that work together with our planet as a huge magnet. 5:50 Northern Lights In addition to the extinction of part of the animal world, the lack of Earth's magnetic field would also change one of the most beautiful natural phenomena, the aurora borealis, or otherwise known as the Northern or Southern Lights. 6:50 Cosmic radiation Our magnetic field is not only responsible for the aurora borealis, but also for our very lives. Cosmic radiation and the solar wind are particularly harmful to us, and without the protection of the magnetosphere, our planet would be constantly bombarded by them. This would terribly increase the risk of cancer, digestive diseases, and neurological disorders. 8:47 Goodbye atmosphere Specifically, we owe our life to the Earth's magnetic field, and here I don't just mean that it protects the life that has already formed, but that it gave the planet the opportunity to appear at all. 10:05 Technological problems Of course, the most threatening thing would be if life on Earth became extinct, but let's assume that this would not happen due to some miracle. We wouldn't be able to rely on most of our technology without the magnetic field either. 12:51 Conclusion Sources: https://pastebin.com/UV9ULXyu Music during the video: https://audiojungle.net/item/stylish-...
