Earth's magnetic field is not in its crust. It passes through the crust, but it is generated by the differential motion of the inner and outer core. The core is mostly iron and nickel. This creates huge dynamo and generates our magnetosphere.

What happens in earth interior to produce earths magnetic field describe the layer where the magnetic field is produced?

What escapes the crust is what we observe as the earths magnetic field. The outer core is a rotating mass of fluid metal that induces an electrical current which in turn generates the magnetosphere.
