摘      要：Unlike its neighbouring planets Mars and Venus,Earth has a global magnetic field.The geomagnetic field effectively protects life from the solar wind and cosmic radiation,prevents atmospheric erosion and water loss,and thus Earth makes for a habitable planet [1].The geomagnetic field also provides useful clues to orientation and navigation for a diverse group of organisms,from bacteria to vertebrates.
