Cause Of Earth’s Magnetic Field Anomalies Identified

Climatology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geology, Meteorology, Planetary Science /

According to recent research, irregularities in the cooling process of molten iron in the Earth’s core are responsible for variations in the planet’s magnetic field. Why do satellite operations and compass readings experience interference that results in inaccurate directions not aligned with true north due to the irregularities in the Earth’s magnetic field? Earth’s magnetic
