2. Geomagnetic storms can cause disruptions to communication and navigation systems.
3. The geomagnetic field is measured by satellite-based instruments and ground-based observatories.
4. Geomagnetic reversals, where the Earth's magnetic field flips, have occurred several times in the planet's history.
5. The study of the geomagnetic field is important for understanding the Earth's interior and its interaction with the solar wind.
