I wasnt sent here by a teacher, I was just generally curious, and now at this point I’m just having fun😆

You say my comment will be appreciated. I am 70+ year old US citizen in S. Africa. I'm a radio technician thinking of building what would be a unique transmitter capable of being globally heard. High frequency (shortwave) radio is greatly affected by earth's magnetic field as the field affects inbound solar particles.

Thank you for your very good presentation. I found it very interesting.

Who else is watching because of online school

This has got to be the clearest explanations of all the relevant terminologies. And with that I say Thank You! This video deserves more views, whole lot more.

[aliaff]

Great video, thank you! Will be using this in my class tomorrow.

I do not understand the negative comments here to have any purpose but to supress a nicely done and informative video. Job well done, keep doing what you're doing. Only change as naturally as this complex planet of which we are connected to

This just woke up my inner child, I‘m enjoying this the way I should have and - as a child- hoped to enjoy school

Thanks to earth magneticfeld we are safe from intense radiation

[roddoel]

Very good video, Just a small critic, magnetic field lines cannot be seen from outer space, it is some thing we visualise through animation and scientific instrumentation. cheers

[mikemesta]

Once we fully understand this .. then we can travel space

[cezarpimentel]

Great video, superb narration! Your voice is calm and very easy to understand. Great work dude! 👊

"I Feel As If My Days Are No More"

The air feels different. The familiar warmth of the sun feels foreign. The smell of the ocean is missing.

[MinesAGuinness]

Thank you for a very interesting summary. I loved how you explained some of the parts that would be easy to gloss over in a lesson, such as the geomagnetic poles, and your visuals and explanations of the reasons for setting of a compass was the clearest I've seen for young people. I am definitely going to share this with my primary school Year 5 students to help them make links between their Earth and Space topic and Forces science while they are learning at home. And I'm going to watch it again too!

Could earths changing magnetic field have an affect on climate change that other observers are not considering?

[chrisinculture]

This is really clearly explained. I just watched it with my 5 year old and we both understood it.

[Xeno_Bardock]

Earth is not only a magnet but also an electret or capacitor due to plus charge (anode) at the plasma core and minus charge (cathode) on surface we walk. Also another plus charge (anode) is in space due to ionosphere created by solar wind.

[damedesmontagnes]

So what is the magnetic field? Electrons flowing out of the inner earth? At the geomagnetic poles there's that circular shape of electrons flowing out up (and down at south pole) there? They're magnetized electrons?

[nhsgad]

Well done except for one glaring error. The video places the North Magnetic pole at the North Geographic pole and for that reason, I can't use it in class.

[potatopoison]

Why is no one harnessing Earth's magnetic field. We can build electromagnetic bands around the world using the earths magnet field. For suspension of cities or even maybe a possibility of highways, maybe a possibility of atmosphere protection. Clean water/air transportation.

I would reckon that the flip occurs instantaneously, just like the sun. What takes 100-1000 years is for the evidence of the flip to build up on the sea floor, or other places.
