Talk:Telluric current

message: The following part of the article contains several strange facts that need to be cheked.
Telluric currents will move between each half of the terrestrial globe at all times. Telluric currents move equator-ward (daytime) and pole-ward (nighttime). 
The field varies in time and over the frequency range 0.001 to 5 Hz (Krasnogorskaja & Remizov, 1975). Electric potential gradients caused by telluric currents are of the order of 0.2 to 1000 volts per metre. (Krasnogorskaja and Remizov, 1975; Vanjan, 1975). At any location, the current density is a direct function of the interhemispheric currents and their potential gradients. It has been estimated that telluric currents overall during twelve hours in one hemisphere are in range of 100 to 1000 amperes. This intensity of telluric currents is sufficient to drive the air movements that create atmospheric electricity, from the global fair weather charge accumulator to thunderstorm bases. 
If the currents variate daily they have a frequency of 1/24/3600 Hz = 0.0000115 Hz.
The potential gradients seems to be way to high 0.2 V/m is 200 V/km enough to run normal lamps from the potential differance 
over 1000 m. 1000 V/m is even enough to give a dangerous  voltage between your feet. I have heard of 10 V/km during solar eruptions.
The sentence "It has been estimated that telluric currents overall during twelve hours in one hemisphere are in range of 100 to 1000 amperes." gives no meaning current does not accumulate over time, they are measured at any given moment.
To me the numbers seams ridicules low, could It be per km?  
As I understands it so are telluric currents not the source of air movements and thunderstorms. The article on
Atmospheric electricity does not mention it more than under "se also".
I don't know where to find Krasnogorskaja & Remizov, 1975, if some one has know pleas check the facts.
I will remove the section since at least some of the statements are wrong. Pleas reinsert it when we are sure of the correct numbers.

thread_title:  Factual Errors? 

message: What does this mean -- clarify -- was there some ground transmission method that was used during sunspots or whatever? Why wasn't it used all the time? How did the telegraph system switch from using wires to the ground when needed?
"Utilization of these electromagnetic effects has been reported in the United States as far back as 1859. United States telegraph lines were operated by such natural induced currents (during geomagnetic disturbances)." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.6.254.146 (talk) 10:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Human Activity 

message: :Let us suppose for a moment that everything is interconnected, that the structure of the smallest item can be a model for the largest. For example, just as the human body has an intricate network of nerves that are not only sensitive to external stimuli, but are also tuned to the events that happen within the body, the same might be said concerning the magnetic 'structures' of the Earth and the Universe as a whole. In other words, that each living organism is a universe within itself. And concerning Earth: perhaps it's time we started considering Earth as a living entity :itself, reacting to both internal and external stimuli as theories about Telluric Currents :suggests. If we can learn to see Earth from this perspective, then perhaps we can have a greater :understanding of ourselves and the Universe.
:As for humanity's influence upon Earth's Telluric Currents, Global Warming, the hole in Earth's Ozone Layer and the increase in natural disasters(eruptions of seemingly dormant volcanos, earthquakes, flooding, droughts, etc.) seems to suggest that this might be the case.72.133.55.153 14:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Anaerobic respiration produces electrical currents in soil. Electrotrophs and Electrolithoautotrophs use those electrical currents to support living processes. Can someone (briefly! please) help me understand how soil electricity relates to Telluric currents? Would a soil electricity section be appropriate in this article? --Paleorthid (talk) 02:03, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
