The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electric currents in the liquid metal outer core.
The outer core of the Earth is over 2,000 km thick. It sits above the solid inner core and is composed of highly conducting liquid iron and nickel. Above the outer core is the Earth's mantle.
The geodynamo is the mechanism thought to be responsible for the generation of the Earth's magnetic field through the convection of conducting fluids in the Earth's core. Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.

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

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
No. The magnetic field is produced by currents in Earth's outer core, which is composed largely of molten iron.

Current flows inside he Earth.
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
The Earth's Magnetic field.
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
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.
The Magnetosphere
It is made by the movement of the earths core
No. Earth's magnetic field is produced by currents in the liquid outer core.
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.
