Located in Litchfield National Park, near the Australian town of Batchelor, termite mounds are built in conjunction with the Earth's magnetic field strangely.
In a large, open barren area in the park is filled with hundreds of termites that look like tombstones from afar but much larger.
Many of the termites here are getting taller, the average height of each nest is 3m, they are relatively flat and all face in the same direction, with thin edges of the face facing the north and side. male like needle of compass.
Many hypotheses are made by scientists about mound construction, but now the most accepted hypothesis is that the correct connection allows their house to be more comfortable.
In northern Australia, during the day it is extremely hot, but at night it is cool so researchers believe that somehow the term has harnessed the power of the earth's magnetic field for a strategy of checking Control the climate and make the best home.
Graham Brown, a former insect manager in the Southern Territory Museum explained that towering termite mounds can be considered termite apartment buildings.
Only a single termite nest can hold tens of thousands of animals.For all insects, to make the house completely comfortable, the mound architecture must be accurate.
Graham Brown also thought and added that all small rooms or galleries in a house needed proper moisture and good internal temperatures so the mound's north-south connection seemed to help keep the termites have a comfortable life.
