Why is studying bacteria and animals who use magnetic fields to navigate useful?
Magnetoception is a type of navigation used by some animals. It is navigation that uses electromagnetic fields, and has been observed in bacteria. It is useful because scientists might be able to come up with different types of navigation.
Can 'who' be applied to animals?
In general, who is reserved for humans. Which might fit as an alternative for who when applied to animals.
What is cause background extinction?
It is the fate of most living things eventually to go extinct. standard commonplace rate of extinction not associated with a mass extinction.
What is a person who assists in handling animals?
A person that assists in handling animals can be called a groom if they work with horses. A person who works with zoo animals might be called a trainer, zookeeper, or handler. A person who raises animals for food might be called a rancher or dairy farmer.
What are the animals you might see on a camping trip?
raccons and lizerds
How does the earths magnetic field affect animals?
Animals such as birds, sea turtles, and bees use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation during migration or foraging. The magnetic field helps them find their way and maintain their sense of direction over long distances. Disruptions in the Earth's magnetic field, such as geomagnetic storms, can disorient these animals and impact their behavior.
Why would we not expect magnetic fields on the moon or mercury?
You might, but that would be wrong! Mercury has a strong magnetic field.
Does a cold planet's core have magnetic fields?
It MIGHT have. If the SURFACE of the planet is cold, its interior can still be liquid, for billions of years - allowing the currents that cause the magnetic field. Note, for example, that Jupiter has considerable magnetic fields.
Are humans evil to animals and the earth?
it depends. if its a person who hates animals and earth then they might be mean to them but if they love earth and animals then thwy might not.

What causes Earth's magnetic field to have the shape it does?
As you might already know, a magnet is the most powerful at it's ends. So what the inner core of the Earth's magnetic field does is that it surround the Earth. Thank you.
How does the sun's magnetic field affect the solar system?
The sun's magnetic field is what causes the phenomenon known as sunspots. Magnetic fields also affect the earth's weather. Sunspots are a cyclical occurrence that cause solar flares, magnetic activity that affects the earth.
Why do you think compass might not work near storm power lines?
Storm power lines can create magnetic interference that affects the accuracy of a compass reading. The strong magnetic fields generated by power lines can disrupt the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass to give inaccurate readings. It's best to keep a safe distance from power lines when using a compass for navigation.
Can Magnets still attract underwater?
Yes, water has almost no effect on magnetic fields. (though electromagnets might have a shortcircut)
What if earth's magnetic field did not occasionally reverse polarity?
We expect Earth would still have a magnetic field during a reversal, but it would be weaker than normal with multiple magnetic poles. Radio communication would deteriorate, navigation by magnetic compass would be difficult and migratory animals might have problems. Many migratory animals use the geomagnetic field to orient themselves. However, even if Earth's magnetic field began a reversal, it would still take several thousand years to complete a reversal.
How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversal in the past how do you think earth's reversal might have affected the evolution of life on our planet?
We know Earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals by studying magnetic minerals in rocks that show the alignment of the ancient field. The reversals likely had some impact on life, as magnetic field fluctuations may influence migration behaviors in animals that rely on geomagnetic cues for navigation. However, the full extent of how these reversals affected evolution is still being researched.
Which direction does magnetic fields flow?
I think it is a mistake to refer to magnetic field 'flowing. Magnetic fields just are, they can change, and these disturbances might move in space, but the field itself does not flow. That being said, and assuming you meant to ask in which direction a magnetic field points the answer is that a magnetic field points towards the south pole of a magnet and away from the north pole. A magnetic field cannot be divergent (i.e. there are no sources) and any field line must be closed.
