What do we think is the primary source of the earth's magntic field?

The circulation of electrical currents in the magma, roughly parallel to the Equator, causes the Earth's magnetic Field. There is also a few% derived from the flow of the Solar Wind - a flow of charged particles from the Sun. [The interior of the Earth is over 5000 deg C, and much too hot to maintain a magnet. see Curie Point.]

A geologist wants to find out more about a new discovery in his field What type of source should he consult?
a primary source, cause it has more details
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is the region of the earths magnetic field?
magnetosphere
What does the Earths magnetic field resemble?
That of bar magnet..
Which location is earths magnetic field is the strongest?
The equator
Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?
Yes.
Is mafic rocks in the mantle earths magntic field?
No. The Earth's magnetic field consists of invisible lines of force, not rock. The mangetic fiild itself is driven by currents in the outer core, which is made of molten iron and nickel.
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
The way in the Earths core spin is believed to be the source of its?
magnetic field.
When is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source?
When you are not an expert in the field being studied in the experiment
What do we think is the primary source of the earth's magnetic field?
The Earth's Iron Core
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.
A geologist wants to find out more about a new discovery in his field What type of source should he consult?
a primary source, cause it has more details
How are the Earths magnetic field made?
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What are two primary differences between an electromagnets magnetic field and earths magnetic field?
First one is artificial where as the latter is natural We could increase or decrease the strength of magnetic field but we cannot vary earth's Intense field could be produced but earth's field is feeble in comparison with artificial
Can primary source be difficult to read?
Yes, primary sources can sometimes be difficult to read due to factors such as old language, handwriting, or technical language specific to the time period or field. One may need additional context or background knowledge to fully understand the contents of a primary source.
