Hello, why are electrons attracted to Earth? It is a very well known and proven fact that Earth attracts electrons. By making more researches into it, the answer as why electrons are attracted earth was because the ground is positively charged. However the ground is negatively charged, which should not attract the electrons. I also learned that the core of the Earth is positively charged (because of its heat ionizing the atoms). And I also made a hypothesis: electrons are attracted to the core of the Earth, even though the negative charge of the Earth's surface. We could compare it to a funnel, with which electrons constantly enter the inner core of the Earth, while the rest of electrons await the electrons in front of them entering, creating a sorte of a queue and explained why the ground is negatively charged.
It's only a two minutes made hypothesis but I would like to know if my hypothesis is somewhat correct or wrong, but also how is this working?

Which sentences describe point source pollution? in this type of pollution, the source of the pollution is single and easily identifiable. when runoff water from the melting of snow mixes with debris, it creates pollution. the runoff water, mixed with pollutants, reaches large areas with disastrous effects. alternatively, when a wastewater treatment plant releases harmful chemicals into a stream, the chemicals pollute the stream water because they are not treated for safety.
