This is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun — much like ocean tides, but it happens to the land itself. This is known as the Earth's atmospheric tide . And that’s not all.

Underground, vast networks of fungi and roots communicate in pulses and chemical exchanges — a biological respiration of the forest floor. Schumann Resonance: Earth's “Heartbeat” The Schumann Resonance is a low-frequency electromagnetic pulse that vibrates in the space between the Earth’s surfac...
