Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for ...
Moroccan rocks reveal that Earth’s magnetic field once changed fast but followed a hidden order, helping scientists map ...
Researchers uncovered compelling evidence that Earth's magnetic field was in a highly unusual state when the macroscopic animals of the Ediacaran Period -- 635 to 541 million years ago -- diversified ...
Scientists believe that the Earth is currently in the midst of its sixth major extinction event, but a new study suggests that’s not the case – it may actually be the seventh. Scientists have found ...
The earliest forms of animal life on our planet continue to fascinate scientists, who are seeking to unravel the mystery of ...
A new study by Virginia Tech geobiologists traces the cause of the first known mass extinction of animals to decreased global oxygen availability, leading to the loss of a majority of animals present ...
(CNN) — Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. The protective bubble over the atmosphere shields the planet from solar radiation, winds, cosmic rays and wild swings in ...
