Biogeomagnetism

Biogeomagnetism is the study of how living organisms, especially humans and animals, are affected by Earth's magnetic field. Our bodies contain tiny magnetic particles that can respond to magnetic forces, influencing biological processes like navigation, circadian rhythms, and even brain activity. Some researchers explore how magnetic exposure might impact health or behavior, and animals use Earth's magnetic signals for migration. Overall, biogeomagnetism examines the interplay between Earth's magnetic environment and biological systems, helping us understand how magnetic fields influence living organisms in subtle yet significant ways.
