About 550 million years ago, in the Cambrian （寒武纪）period of prehistory so many new animals appeared that the event is referred to as the uCambrian explosionv . Scientists have long wondered
34、 what triggered the change, after billions of years in which life was mostly extremely small.

It is surro
35、unded by a liquid-metal outer core and is slowly growing as the liquid metal cools.

36、ism-driving inner core seems to be a recent arrival, however.

The team found that 56
37、5 million years ago, Earth? s magnetism had less than 10% of its strength today. This suggests that the swirling of liquid metal, which had always produced a protective magnetic force, was growing weak.Now, further work has shown that the field, s strength started to recover just before the Cambrian

It seems highly likely that the two events are somehow linked.I don t think that the return of Earth, s magnetic field and the subsequent explosion of life on Earth can be unconnectedv says Tarduno.
