The Earth's magnetic field is called the Magnetosphere. Loops of magnetic energy coupling the north and south pole that trap energetic subatomic particles are called the Van Allen belt.

Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
The Magnetosphere
Iron is magnetic which forms the Earth's magnetic field.

No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
Convection of liquid metals in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field.
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.

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.

The Magnetosphere
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
