Current flows inside he Earth.
Yes. In historical times , clay pots have shown that the earth's magnetic field has reversed.
This is FALSE. TWICE!The Earths magnetic Field is not Electromagnetic.A compass can be deflected by any Magnet.
In early 2014, scientists have discovered that the Earth's magnetic field has been weakening for some time. This could eventually lead to the switching of the Earth's magnetic poles.
There is no reason to believe that the Earth's magnetic field will change any time soon... or, for that matter, that anything extraordinary is going to happen in 2012.
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
Earth
the earths magnetic field is the only reason that were alive right now the reason being is the suns heat rays are very powerful and very hot if the magnetic field would be gone everything on earth would vanish into ashes.
Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools
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.
Iron is magnetic which forms the Earth's magnetic field.
It is made by the movement of the earths core
