It might be surprising to know that just like humans, the earth also has a heartbeat. According to a recent study of ancient geological events, the heartbeat is 27.5 million years old and slow as well. It was first discovered during the 1960s. The Schumann Resonance waves (named after Winfried Otto Schumann) oscillating between greater and lower energy have a base frequency of 7.83 Hz. The base frequency of 7.83 Hz is called 'Earths Heartbeat'. Progressively weaker harmonics have been measured at around 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.
Humans have a pulse, so does the earth. The pulse of the earth is a cluster of geological events which are volcanic activity, mass extinctions, plate reorganizations, and sea level rises. Research shows that the next pulse will be after 20 million years as it occurs only every 27 million years once.
The pulses of tectonic and climate change are the result of geophysical processes related to the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle plumes. The pulses could have developed by astronomical cycles associated with the earth's motions in the solar system.
