They cause the polor lights to appear in places you'd never expect. I read that the last one had the polar lights reaching all the way to Hawii! I read in that same article, that if one were to happen right now, some things like telephone lines would burst into flames, explode, even melt. Supposably, the more advance technology you have, the worse the effects will be, the last one in the 1800s was bad, and think about how much our technology as improved since then! I also read in the article that the damage cost would be something like $90,000,000

The field protects earth from cosmic radiation. This is why we aren't fried to a crisp.
The ozone layer keeps the magnet from going out of control by the power of the earths inner magnet. Without this layer compasses would be no use to us.
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
Scientists believe that it is the movements in the liquid outer core that create the magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field affects the whole planet.
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
It's called the Dip.
The center core of the earth is solid iron surrounded by molten iron. The center is solid due to the great pressure and the spinning mass of molten iron around the solid iron core creates the electrodynamic effect that causes Earths magnetism. Our moon has little or no magnetic field because its core has long since cooled.

No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.

The Earth's Magnetic field.
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.

The Magnetosphere
No. Earth's magnetic field is produced by currents in the liquid outer core.
It is made by the movement of the earths core
Solar wind has a large effect on the earth.. It brings these clouds (cant remember name) down. which affects electricity very much. Due to the magnetic field of the clouds
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the the Earth's spin and the fact that it has molten iron in its core. When convecting molten metals spin they generate electric currents and with these a magnetic field.
