How can a magnetic compass be used to find directions on Earth?
Due to earth's spinning and rotation, it also behave as a magnet. That's why compass (magnetic needles) show directions as alike poles attracts and like repel each otherg
What causes the magnetic field?
Which magnetic field? If you're talking about the earth, the magnetic poles have switched polarity in the past. The earth is not a solid magnet, it is a liquid, specifically molten nickel. When the molten nickel shifts the magnetic field of the earth can change.
How does the sun affect the earth's magnetic field?
Well, imagine the Earth's magnetic field is an umbrella, its a fairly sturdy umbrella so most of the Solar Wind is deflected off and around the Earth. But some of the Solar Wind gets past the magnetic field at our poles which is what causes Auroras. Solar Wind tends to rip at Earths magnetic field, it acts sort of like a flag on a windy day. Blasting and flailing in different directions as the Solar Wind rushes past it. There are a few good videos on utube if you want to check it out.
How is the earth's magnetic field created?
A few % of the magnetic field comes from the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun. This is why the magnetic field varies greatly in Polar Regions during a sunspot storm.The majority of the field is generated deep inside the Earth by electrical currents in the liquid part of the outer core. The nett result of these currents generates a magnetic field.The Curie Temperature of magnetic materials ensures that there are no magnetic materials deep in the Earth.
How do magnetic stripes show the history of Earth's magnetic field?
as you move away from an ocean ridge the rocks get older
What is the leading theory for what causes earth's magnetic field?
The Dynamo Theory it what causes Earth's Magnetic Field
How do you reverse reverse polarity?
Earth's magnetic field lines up in a direction opposite of the present magnetic Feld
Where does the convection that causes earths magnetic field?
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
Does the earth reverse its' magnetic field?
Yes evry millinium it changes

Where does the convection occur that causes the Earth's magnetic field?
This happens in the earth's core.
Regions of the sea floor with negative magnetic anomalies were formed during times when Earth's magnetic field was or had?
reverse polierty
What causes the magnetic force in the Earth?
A rotating core of iron.
What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite directions?
The season progression would reverse.
The convention that causes earths magnetic field happens in earths?
core
What are the causes of magnetic fields?
Earth's magnetic field is produced by the dynamo effectin the liquid metal outer core.
