What does directive force magnets in a compass mean mesn?
It is the component of the earths magnet field which aligns the compass needle to the Magnetic North Pole. The Horizontal Component (directive force) is the greatest at the magnetic Equator (Aclinic Line), where the vertical component is the weakest. Above the magnetic north pole, it is the opposite. The Horizontal, or directive force is weakest and the vertical component is the strongest.
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Other planets
Does the earths magnetic field has periodically reversed direction?
Yes. In historical times , clay pots have shown that the earth's magnetic field has reversed.
What gives rise to the Earths magnetic field?
Current flows inside he Earth.
What do scientists think produces earths magnetic field?
Its molten iron core.

Is the horizontal component of earths magnetic field of induction equal at all places?
No. Der
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
How a magnetic compass can be used to find directions on Earths surface?
A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?
Yes.
How are the Earths magnetic field made?
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
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.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
How is earths magnetic field used by people and animals?
the earths magnetic signature is a negative polarity signature
Where does the earth's magnetic field get its power from?
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
What is the magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is the region of the earths magnetic field?
magnetosphere
