Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
Does earth's magnetic field only affect other planets?
No. Earth's magnetic field only affects earth, not other planets.
How does lamination affect the magneto-motive force across the air gap of a magnetic circuit?
It doesn't. There are three things that can affect this force: another magnetic field, another conductor within the field, and the size of the gap itself, of course.Lamination is, in essence, insulation, and anything non-magnetic and non-conductive within the field is transparent to the field itself - it's as if it weren't there.
Magnetic striping is a part of?
Magma contains many materials which are magnetically affected. When this magma is ejected from the mantle and begins forming new crust, these materials align to the earth's magnetic field. The crust hardens, and the magnetic alignment is fixed (just as in normal magnets, made by using a similar process). The magnetic fields are 'visile' in strips of material, hence the term 'magnetic striping'. seafloor spreading
What factors do not affect solubility of a solid?
For example the magnetic field, the wind speed, the gravitation.
How are the Earths magnetic field made?
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
Can the charge of the north or south pole change?
Yes. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed, so that the magnetic north pole has become the magnetic south pole, several times that scientists are sure of. We know this because when magma (molten volcanic rock) cools, it freezes the magnetic orientation that the Earth's magnetic field imposed on the liquid magma.
As the magma would harden when it hits the water they could get a magnetic reading of the crust. What could they determine from this magnetic reading?
The direction of the Earth's magnetic field.
Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
How can the magnetic field of the Earth be sued to estimate the age of rocks found in the Earth?
By knowing the precise orientation of the rocks magnetic field, you can compare its magnetic field direction to the known direction of the magnetic field over time since the "north pole" wanders over time. The rock locked in its magnetic field when it cooled from magma.
How solidified magma comes to be magnetic?
As magma solidifies to form rock, iron-rich minerals in the magma align with Earth's magnetic field in the same way that a compass needle does. When the rock hardens, the magnetic orientation of the minerals becomes permanent. This residual magnetism of rock is called paleomagnetism.

Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Other planets
Why is the zebra like pattern seen in the magnetic signature of mid Atlantic ridges?
The pattern is caused by the magnetic alignment of certain iron minerals in solidifying magma with Earth's magnetic field at the time of the magma's solidification. Earth's magnetic field has not been static over geologic time, and its shifts are recorded in the igneous rock produced at the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
Does earth's magnetic field only affect other planets?
No. Earth's magnetic field only affects earth, not other planets.
How does temp affect magnet?
