Geoelectricity

Geoelectricity refers to the electrical currents generated within the Earth, particularly influenced by geomagnetic forces, such as the Earth's magnetic field and solar activity. These currents can affect various natural processes, including the behavior of the atmosphere and geological formations. Changes in geomagnetic activity, like solar storms, can enhance these electrical currents. Scientists study geoelectricity to better understand Earth’s electrical systems and their impacts, such as how they might influence technologies like navigation systems and power grids. Understanding these interactions is important for predicting and mitigating potential disruptions caused by solar activity.
