The Biology of the Earth's Magnetic Field

Abstract

The Earth's magnetic field has long been a subject of scientific fascination, primarily for its role 
in navigation and geophysical processes. However, recent research has illuminated its profound 
influence on biological organisms. This paper explores the multifaceted relationship between 
Earth's magnetic field and various life forms, from bacteria to mammals. We investigate the 
mechanisms by which organisms detect and respond to geomagnetic cues, the evolutionary 
implications of magnetic sensing, and the potential applications of this knowledge in fields such 
as ecology, animal behavior, and medicine.
