Two massive structures deep within Earth, known as LLSVPs, are significantly influencing the planet\'s magnetic field. These hotter regions at the core-mantle boundary impede heat flow, altering the circulation of molten iron in the outer core. This uneven heat extraction shapes the geodynamo, impacting the magnetic field\'s generation and long-term behavior for millions of years.
