What metals makes up the core?
The outer core is a layer of the Earth, the second to last layer. It creates the Earths Magnetic field by moving around the inner core. There are two metals that make up the outer core, these two metals are iron and nickel. The inner core is so hot that it melts the nickel and iron turning it into liquid magma.
What are some physical characteristics of the earths outer core?
The Outer Core is made up of a liquid iron and nickel alloy. This creates the earth's magnetic field. It is in a liquid form due to the intense heat given off by the inner core (which is 5500C due to the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium inside) It is roughly 2300 metres thick.
What layer of the earth is believed to control the Earth's magnetic field?
inner core
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
What happens in earths interior produce earths magnetic field?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
What happens to earth's interior to produce earths magnetic field?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
What happens in earths interior to produce earths magnetic?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
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.
Why do scientists believethat the inner core is the source of earth's magnetic field?
The core is a dense chunck of metal that influence the earths magnetic field.
What does the inner magma in the Earth do?
The inner magama rotates creating earths magnetic field which stops solar wind
Do scientists think that movements in the liquid inner core create earths magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electric currents in the liquid metal outer core.The outer core of the Earth is over 2,000 km thick. It sits above the solid inner core and is composed of highly conducting liquid iron and nickel. Above the outer core is the Earth's mantle.The geodynamo is the mechanism thought to be responsible for the electric current in the core and the generation of the Earth's magnetic field through the convection of conducting fluids in the Earth's core. Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.See related links.
What causes the earths magnatic field?
The earth's magnetic field is caused by the circulating magma of the outer core going around the solid iron inner core.
What is made of solid iron and nickel spins to produce earths magnetic field?
Earth's outer core (as opposed to the inner core).
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.
Why does the magnetosphere change shape?
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.
