Best Answer

Lines of magnetic force are a human device for imagining them. There are no lines as such. The lines we draw are contour lines, analogous to lines of equal force.

As to your question, the Magnetosphere is possibly that which you seek.

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.
