Eighty zett(o)amps-metres squared? The magnetic flux of the earth should be
in webers, which is amp henrys. This would also be a tesla metre squared.
Magnetic field intensity is measured in amps per metre. I don't recognize
this unit of amp metre squared (Am^2) at all.
What are you getting at?

OK, folks.
Here's a little test to see if you're a real SI geek!
What does the following expression represent:
80 ZA-m^2
Hint: This is roughly the strength of the earth's magnetic field.
Write out the answer in words.
