The planet emanates a constant rumble far below the limits of human hearing. Discovered in 1998 this low level "hum" was thought to perhaps be caused by disturbances in the ocean or atmosphere. Scientists now suggest that the Earth’s hum is caused not by earthquakes or atmospheric turbulence, but by ocean waves colliding with the seafloor. It will be interesting [...]]]> http://danaan.net/2009/09/09/the-earths-hum/feed/ 0 http://danaan.net/2009/09/09/bee-memories/ http://danaan.net/2009/09/09/bee-memories/#comments Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:45:03 +0000 D. http://danaan.net/?p=757 http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikonvscanon/ / CC BY 2.0

There's been a whole slew of research showing that animals can sense or use the earth's magnetic fields as an internal compass. (When do they find out humans can sometimes sense these fields also?) Keep on reading to see some of this research.
