The inner core and outer core of the planet are composed primarily of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid. It is thought that the convective motion of the liquid outer core is responsible for generating the main field. Recent studies indicate that the inner core of the Earth may rotate a bit faster than the outer core and it is possible that this rotation may be associated with field reversals.

Does magnetism change the tides?

No, magnetism does not directly influence tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational forces between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Magnetism plays a role in other natural phenomena, such as the Earth's magnetic field and magnetic interactions between objects.

Are the moon sun and earth allined by magnetism?

No, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are not aligned by magnetism. The alignment of these three bodies is primarily due to gravitational forces. Magnetism does play a role in interactions between celestial bodies, but it is not the primary force responsible for their alignment.

Does the magnetic field increase or decrease if the current is decreased?

An increase in an electrical current will cause magnetism to increase but a decrease in an electrical current will cause magnetism to decrease.
