Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?
Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.
Why did most scientist reject Wegener hypothesis of continental drift?
Because he could not explain how the continents moved.
What will be the effect on radiation received at earths surface of a decrease of ozone in the stratosphere?
Decrease of ozone in the stratosphere could cause UV to enter the surface. These could cause skin cancer and the immune system to weak.
Is all steel magnetic?
Most Steel Alloys are magnetic, but stainless steel is non magnetic
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
What may cause a compass needle to point to a television rather than earths magnetic north pole?
The television or something in it must be generating a magnetic field.
How is earths magnetic field generated?
It is believed that there are currents of molten iron ore in Earth's interior, which cause this magnetism.
What is the major cause of earths magnetic feild?
Earth's liqid metal Inner Core passes through a magnetic field causing the liquid metal to electomagnetically charge the planet.
Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?
Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.
The convention that causes earths magnetic field happens in earths?
core
What kind of energy could cause a sunspot?
Magnetism. They are magnetic storms.
Wegeners idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift was shown to be impossible when it was?
determined that earth's magnetic field was too strong
What causes the part of earths magnetic field called the magnetosphere to exist?
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.
What is the most likely cause for the existence of the earths magnetic field?
The best hypothesis is a self-sustaining dynamo caused by the slow but inexorable motion of the electrically conductive core.
