WHAT IS THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD?

Lobsters: have been shown to exhibit magnetic sensitivity, relying upon the earth’s magnetic lines to navigate.
Birds: Though it’s not conclusively proven, there is compelling evidence that birds can actually see the Earth’s magnetic field. Their eyes contain specialized light receptor molecules that communicate with the visual center in the brain, just as a compass relies on a tiny magnet to “tune in” to the earth’s magnet.
Baby sea Turtles: rely on the earth’s magnetism to make their way to and fro in the Atlantic Ocean (that’s 8,000 miles round trip). Their bodies tell them when they’ve strayed off course – it’s just like having an internal GPS.
Humans: But what about humans? There seems little doubt that the brain responds to electromagnetic fields – coils that generate electromagnetic fields can trigger muscular twitches when placed over a person’s skull. Also, psychiatrists have noticed a correlation between increased geomagnetic activity and increased suicide rates and clinical depression. The Scientific Explanation – “The most plausible explanation for the association between geomagnetic activity and depression and suicide is that geomagnetic storms can desynchronise circadian rhythms and melatonin production. The circadian regulatory system depends upon repeated environmental cues to [synchronise] internal clocks, and magnetic fields may be one of these environmental cues. Geomagnetic storms could disrupt body clocks, precipitating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and therefore increased suicide risk.” This is what Kelly Posner, a psychiatrist at Columbia University in the US, told the New Scientist.
