How to use magnetic field in a sentence?

1. John Foster:

   For shocks traveling toward our planet, Earth’s magnetic field would take the direct hit such that most of the resulting disturbance would be confined to Earth’s outer magnetic field – our magnetosphere – with the ‘ noticeable ’ effects being those associated with a large geomagnetic storm – bright aurora, communications disturbances, scattered electrical power outages.

2. John Foster:

   The constant activity on the surface of the Sun is punctuated by violent outbursts powered the Sun’s strong magnetic field. Solar flares emit bursts of X-rays that travel outward at the speed of light, coronal mass ejections( CMEs) are giant eruptions of hot gasses from the Sun’s outer atmosphere. As this blast wave of solar material( plasma) streams towards the planets at 1000 km/sec, it sweeps up the magnetic field in its path, creating a magnetized shockwave of the type that struck Earth’s magnetic field on October 8, 2013.

3. Gideon Groenewald:

   I open Google maps and look for the lines of trees. I ask God in prayer which lines hold water, then I go down to that GPS location, you see the stick moving where the magnetic field is? There's water here.

4. Brad Singer:

   Lava flows are ideal recorders of the magnetic field. They have a lot of iron-bearing minerals, and when they cool, they lock in the direction of the field, but it's a spotty record. No volcanoes are erupting continuously. So we're relying on careful field work to identify the right records.

5. Gregg Hallinan:

   That could be particularly interesting, because whether or not a planet has a magnetic field may be an important factor in habitability.
