> Theory says that the earth’s magnetic field arises from the interaction of rotation, internal electrical currents and other forces. The normally occurring electrical currents are so diffuse that plasmoids probably don’t exist.

How do you know? Do you have some device that can see the electric discharges going on 1000km underground?

>Extraordinary events like earthquakes
Over the Earth, earthquakes are a common every day occurrence.

The most concentrated natural electrical currents that I know of are lightning strikes…. I am not aware of anyone suggesting that nuclear reactions happen.

But you should think its possible. We know lightning creates macro plasmoids ( ball lightning ). This was known without any modern scientific study at all. Whats to stop smaller, and indeed, micro plasmoids from forming from lightning?
The idea is not mine. Somewhere I’ve read it. Someone else said that after powerful electric storms in the tropics, there is a rotten egg smell, suggesting the oxygen in the air has fused into sulphur. Hopefully I can go the tropics myself and smell the air after an electric storm. In the uk you can only smell the water and a tiny bit of ozone.
