How is earths magnetic field used by people and animals?
People use Earth's magnetic field for navigation, such as in compasses to find direction. Animals, like birds and fish, can sense Earth's magnetic field to navigate during migration or find their way in the ocean.
Does the earths magnetic field help guide certain birds?
Yes, Birds are believed as well as other animals to have an innate sense of direction, or a "built-in compass" by earth's magnetic field. Concerns have arisen about electromagnetic interference with their internal compasses and our radio and other electromagnetic transmissions, such as the theory of why Bees are seemingly disappearing.
How do birds learn how to migrate?
Its an internal instinct, and some scientists say it has something to do with the Earths magnetic pull.
Are chickens migrating birds?

What is birds flying south called?
Migrating
What do the migrating birds do?
Local flora and fauna
What is an exaple of earths manetic field?
An example of Earth's magnetic field is the protection it provides by deflecting harmful solar wind and cosmic radiation away from the planet. This magnetic field also plays a crucial role in navigation for animals like birds and sea turtles, as well as in helping humans use compasses for direction.
What are the 24 states where bees seem to be dying rapidly and mysteriously?
Try looking into magnetic balance of the earths rotation. The same thing birds find there way. The planets are to line up soon. Maybe the bees sence of direction is some how being interfed with?
