World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map
Alright, kiddo, so you know how the Earth has a big magnetic field around it, right? Well, scientists have been studying this magnetic field for a long time and have found out that it's not the same strength all over the world. This means that some places on the Earth have stronger magnetic fields than others.
To help keep track of these differences, scientists have made a big map. But it's not just any map, it's a digital map! That means it's on a computer instead of a piece of paper.
This map shows all the different strengths of the Earth's magnetic field in different areas. Using this information, scientists can learn a lot about the Earth, like where the Earth's magnetic poles are located and which areas might have more metal buried underground.
It's kind of like a treasure map, but instead of finding gold, scientists use it to learn more about our planet!
