Giant Geomagnetic storm can destroy mobile phones, internet and more
A giant geomagnetic storm can knock out the internet, mobile phones and more.
Geomagnetic storms have been properly recorded since the early 19th century, and further scientific data from Antarctic ice core samples has shown some horrific evidence of the same emerging.
These suggest that geomagnetic storms generate induced currents, which flow through the electrical grid such as transformers, relays and sensors.
As reported by Space.com, it is more than 100 amperes and can cause internal damage in the components.
If a large geomagnetic storm takes place today, it would affect a majority of the electrical systems that are being used every day by humans.
The geomagnetic storms are measured on "G scale" from 1 to 5 with G1 being minor and G5 being extreme.
