It kind of makes sense, there’s a large mass of charged particles being deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field, so there must be some kind of corresponding force applied back to the field/the dynamo generating it. Interesting that the leading hypothesis is that it manifests piezoelectrically in rock.
Yeah I found the fact that its basically the piezoelectric effect (in reverse of how I’m used to thinking about it) at a massive scale, to be fascinating. I’ve always been interested in those fans you put on wood burning stoves, which take some heat energy to spin a fan.
What are the quantitative forces of a CME versus the Earth’s fields? I feel like any regular charged particle emissions from the sun would be far weaker than a planetary electromagnetic field, especially in terms of induction.
