Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they might have to wait until 2030 to get another shot at it.

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...
