Reinterpreting Earth: A Plasma-Based Interior Structure and Geomagnetic Resonance Model

Abstract

Recent geophysical anomalies—including nonlinear seismic propagation, discontinuous crustal transitions, and transient geomagnetic fluctuations—have raised fundamental questions about the classical solid-core model of Earth’s interior. This study introduces a plasma–gas convection model in which Earth’s inner system is characterized by ionized plasma flows, condensed gas dynamics, and electromagnetic field interactions.

Central to this model is the hypothesis that Earth possesses a persistent internal energy source—analogous to a residual stellar core or “endogenous sun”—generating sub-crustal plasma layers through high-pressure ionization of deep-seated gases. This internal plasma source challenges the conventional assumption that planetary luminosity and thermodynamics are externally driven by solar irradiation.

Magma, under this interpretation, arises as a nonlinear product of energetic plasma condensation rather than solely through silicate melting. The geomagnetic field is reframed as a resonance phenomenon—produced by vortical plasma flows—rather than a byproduct of molten iron convection.

Observational validation includes ionospheric perturbation data from ESA’s Swarm mission and GIS-based mappings of global seafloor fissures, both consistent with the model’s internal energy distribution. Additionally, the correlation of geomagnetic resonance with Schumann frequencies and biological rhythms suggests a biosystemic integration between Earth’s interior energetics and life processes.

This interdisciplinary model provides a new conceptual basis for reinterpreting planetary illumination, geomagnetic variability, and the Earth–life system as components of a self-sustaining, internally radiant planetary mechanism.
