Earth is not magnetic. As you know it is stupid of you to think earth is magnetic.
The Earth IS MAGNETIC!!! This is because of the Magnetic poles that the earth has. The north and south pole. This is just the general answer. It goes into a lot more detail...

∙ 9y agoNo, it is not inherently magnetic (like a solid desktop magnet).
However the Earth's core generates a strong magnetic field as a result of the spin of the planet on its axis and the convection of the liquid metal (iron) component of the outer core. This magnetic field is electrical in origin and dynamic.

∙ 14y agoThe origin of the magnetic field is still a question that has not been fully resolved, but many geophysicists believe it is generated as the rotation of the earth causes slow movements in the liquid outer core which consists predominantly of iron
Movement inside the core of the Earth is thought to create electrical currents that make the magnetic field of the Earth. Like a planet sized bar magnet, the Earth's magnetic field is oriented to give a magnetic north Pole and the magnetic South Pole. The Earth's magnetic field structures far into space for about 60,000 kilometers. All the members of the Solar System have magnetic fields.

Where is the Iron core located in the earth?
You have already answered your own question. The: "Iron Core" is the... Core. And the... Core is located in the center of the Earth.
How did Earth's iron core form?
On the contrary, the Earth's Iron Core formed from impacts from meteorites and the heavier metal (Iron) which was delivered in those meteorites gradually sunk to the center of the Earth to form the core.
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
Is the core of the earth made of limestone?
No. Earth's core is made of iron and nickel.
What sphere is made up of liquid iron outside and solid iron inside?
The Earth has an iron core. At the outer core it is so hot that the iron is liquid. At the inner core it is hotter still, but under so much pressure it forces the iron to solidify. Hence: the Earth's core.
What is the iron core?
The core of Earth
Where is the Iron core located in the earth?
You have already answered your own question. The: "Iron Core" is the... Core. And the... Core is located in the center of the Earth.
Does earth have an iron core?
The earth's molten core is believed to be composed of iron, and some nickel, yes.
What is in the core of the earth?
The inner core is mainly solid iron, with a liquid iron outer core.
Is there granite in the Earth's core?
No. The Earth's core is composed of iron and nickel.
How do geologists know that the Earth's core is made of iron?
the core is made from iron.
Which core of the earth is made of granite and salt?
The core of Earth is mad of iron and nickel. The crust, not the core, is made largely of iron and basalt.
What is the inner core in earth made of?
The earth inner core is made up of solid iron and nickel:-)
How did Earth's iron core form?
On the contrary, the Earth's Iron Core formed from impacts from meteorites and the heavier metal (Iron) which was delivered in those meteorites gradually sunk to the center of the Earth to form the core.
Layer of the Earth made mostly of iron.?
Inner core, which is also the innermost region of the Earth.
What is the earth's outer core made up of?
The Earth's inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, like the outer core, though the outer core has MOLTEN iron and nickel for its contents.
Is the inner core of earth solid and made primarily of iron?
No. The SUN's core is Hydrogen and Helium. The EARTH's core is Iron and Nickel.
