Question

Scientists think that birds and other animals, such as sea turtles, may use Earth’s magnetic field to help them navigate. Research which animals might find their way using Earth’s magnetic field and investigate the evidence scientists have found that supports the idea. What would happen to the animal if Earth’s magnetic field were reversed?

Answer 1

Magnetoreception (also magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude or location. This sensory modality is used by a range of animals for orientation and navigation, and as a method for animals to develop regional maps
