Abstract
El planeta Tierra, de unos 6.378 kilómetros de radio, es un sistema complejo que se puede dividir en diferentes capas concéntricas que tienen una dinámica muy variada. El abordaje de su estudio es complejo, ya que, a pesar de haber sido capaces de viajar 17.400 millones de kilómetros para conocer el espacio, únicamente se han podido perforar unos 12 kilómetros hacía el interior de la Tierra. Por lo tanto, la forma de estudiar nuestro planeta se basa en el análisis de fenómenos observables en la superficie terrestre, tales como los terremotos o el campo geomagnético. El campo magnético terrestre es de vital importancia para la vida, ya que permite la existencia de la atmósfera y nos protege de las radiaciones y las partículas nocivas procedentes del espacio. A pesar de ser esencial para la supervivencia humana, aún desconocemos algunas características que rigen su comportamiento y evolución...
The Earth, with a radius of about 6378 km, constitutes a complex system that can be divided into several concentric layers, each characterized by different dynamics. Investigating these layers presents a significant challenge, since even though we have managed to travel 17.400 million km to explore space, only a mere 12 km have been reached into the depths of the Earth. Thus, our methods of studying our planet are based in the analysis of observable phenomena at the Earth´s surface, such as earthquakes or the geomagnetic field. The Earth´s magnetic field plays a crucial role in supporting life, since it enables the existence of the atmosphere, and it protects us from several forms of radiation as well as harmful particles from outer space. Despite being essential for human survival, we still do not completely understand some characteristics that drive its behavior and evolution...
