What organisms are able to sense earth's magnetic field and why?
Many (but not all) birds, fish,, insects, etc. have the ability to sense earth's magnetic field. They use this ability for navigation purposes, much as we use magnetic compases.
How do birds know which way to fly when they navigate?
They use the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction and position.
What would happen if a pigeon detected a magnetic field?
There are theories around that some birds can actually detect magnetic fields, which they use to navigate on long migrations.
Do birds use magnetic fields?
no ...YES!
What instrument measures changes in Earth's magnetic field?
You can show that the Earth has a magnetic field by looking at a magnetic compass.The north end of the compass points to the north magnetic pole, and does so everywhere on Earth. It does this by aligning itself to the Earth's magnetic field. If there weren't a magnetic field, then a compass needle would not point to any consistent direction.See related links.
How is the earths magnetic field used for navigation?
Compasses use the magnetic field to navigate always pointing North.
WHAT happens when you run salt water through a magnetic field?
You can use a magnetic field to move salt water. Magnetohydrodynamics.
What is the invisible force around a magnet called?
Have you ever seen a magnet? Did you see the field? There you go. While you can't see the field itself directly, you can see the effects of the field if you use iron filings or something like that; they'll line up with the magnetic field lines
How can you detect the presence of a magnetic field?
One of the ways you can detect the presence of a magnetic field is by the use of a magnetic proximity sensor. They are non-contact proximity devices that are used to detect magnetic objects.
How can you see the invisible magnetic field?
You can make magnetic field lines with a magnet. You an use a permanent magnet, or an electromagnet.
What can you use to find the shape of a magnetic field?
a compass
Use magnetic field in a sentence?
Magnetic compasses will become unuseful when near a magnetic field.
