### Earth's Magnetic Field and Schumann Resonance Frequencies: Origin and Essence  
As a result of theoretical research, it was conceptualized that from the position of modern biophysical knowledge, the natural electromagnetic environment of planet Earth is a single, whole, omnipresent, real formation, which is represented by electromagnetic fields [26]. For convenience of description, science has adopted a conventional division of the Earth's magnetic field into atmospheric magnetic fields and terrestrial magnetic fields [27]. However, the material of the Earth's surface and the lower ionosphere (60-130 km) are fairly good conductors, so the boundaries of electromagnetic fields are arbitrary and omnipresent. Only their physical local characteristics change depending on the localization of electromagnetic phenomena and the sources of their generation at a certain point in time. Magnetic fields do not have clear boundaries, forming a unique, single, integral, universal energy phenomenon [2]. This single magnetic field, as a universal phenomenon, can and does influence the existence of all material objects and biological life on planet Earth, being located everywhere. To conceptualize knowledge about the interaction of the human body and the Earth's magnetic field, it is important to note the fact that the magnetic field of planet Earth is electromagnetic matter. Electromagnetic matter is a universal energy and information carrier [28]. All the energy and information from far and near outer space (from stars, nebulae, galaxies and other astronomical objects) come to Earth in the form of electromagnetic matter/radiation. The Sun is a powerful and comprehensive generator of electromagnetic radiation at various ranges and the main source of electromagnetic energy for the magnetic field of the Earth's atmosphere. Electromagnetic radiation from the Sun is the source of energy for all metabolic processes that occur on planet Earth [29]. Planet Earth is characterized by the heterogeneity of its electromagnetic field. The frequency range of electromagnetic processes on planet Earth ranges from 0 Hz (static fields) to 300 GHz. This natural frequency range of electromagnetic waves is the spectrum of the Earth's electromagnetic field. It includes, in increasing order, the frequencies of radio waves, infrared radiation, light radiation, X-ray radiation and gamma radiation [30]. Each band of the Earth's electromagnetic spectrum has a characteristic way of emitting and receiving waves [30]. For this reason, there are no sharp boundaries between different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation carries energy and information that affect the exchange of energy and substances in living biological organisms and have a specific biological significance for each range. The electromagnetic environment of planet Earth is formed by components such as the electromagnetic field of the Earth'satmosphere, including local thunderstorm activity, air ionization due to corona discharges, solar radiation, resonance phenomena, etc. ; planet Earth's own magnetic/geomagnetic field; electromagnetic fields of the biosphere (electromagnetic fields of all living organisms: prions, viruses, bacteria, plants, fungi, animals, humans); electromagnetic fields of the aquatic environments of the planet Earth; and now electromagnetic fields of technogenic anthropogenic origin. The electromagnetic environment of the Earth's surface is called the electromagnetic landscape [27]. It is this concept that is of greatest importance for systems medicine because it describes the total physical parameters of local electromagnetic landscapes that are the habitat for humans and affect the state of their health. The electromagnetic environment of planet Earth arises due to the peculiarities of its planetary structure. The first fundamental feature is that planet Earth, from the point of view of physics, is a spherical capacitor. There is a constant potential difference between the Earth's surface and its atmosphere.
