The Van Allen belts are caused by Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles are deflected in the presence of a magnetic field.

Van Allen would have nothing named after himself and feel poorly about a life of obscurity.
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.

Van Allen Radiation Belt
Planet Earth has a Van Allen radiation belt, layers of energetic charged particles suspended by a magnetic field.
Van Allen belts
The Troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in the Troposphere. The Van Allen Belts are made up of charged particles that have been captured by Earth's magnetic field. The particles sometimes enter the ionosphere, a layer of the Earth's atmosphere much higher than the Troposphere. The Northern and Southern lights are the result of these ions entering the Ionosphere. The Van Allen Belts are doughnut shaped and extend for 7,000 miles out into space.
