Why does the compass rose point north?
it doesn't, it points to Magnetic North which is somewhere in the north of Canada. A compass may point 20 degrees or more different from geographic north. The North pole of a magnet will point to magnetic north. The next question is why is the Earth magnetic, and why does it have a south pole magnetic near the North pole. I haven't seen a really good explanation. Something to do with the centre of the Earth having a layer of liquid iron that is rotating, and moving conductors generating a magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic pole has flipped over in the past and gone walkabout, as evidenced by magnetic records in rocks which solidified at different times.
What is the outermost layer of the earth's crust?
the outer most layer of earth is CRUST
How thick is the outermost layer of the Earth?
No the crust is the outer layer of the earth!!!
What is the solid out layer of the earth?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the Crust.GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
What layer of the atmosphere is closest from the earth?
The troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth.
What is the layer in which the magnetic field of the Earth is produced?
The outer liquid core produces the strong magnetic field of the Earth, through the dynamo effect.
What is the layer of the earth with the magnetic field?
The Outer Core
What layer in the earth is the magnetic field produced?
The OUTER CORE
What layer of the earth is believed to control the Earth's magnetic field?
inner core
Which layer of the earth spins giving us a magnetic field?
The entire Earth spins. No layer has a rotation rate the differs significantly from the rest of the planet. If any layer did the results would be catastrophic. The magnetic field is the result of convection currents in the outer core.
The dynamo theory states that Earth's magnetic field is created in what layer?
In the Dynamo Theory, the magnetic field of the earth is created in the outer core. The fluid contained in the outer core creates and maintains the magnetic field during rotation.
The dynamo theory states that Earth's magnetic field is created in the layer known as the?

What protects the earth from suns harmful rays?
The Ozone layer of the earth protects the earth from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.
What causes the lights?
The Sun's magnetic field produces charged particles and these charged particles are usually radiated out into space. Sometimes these charged particles may be caught in Earth's magnetic field and as they enter the upper atmosphere of Earth, they are in contact with other gases in the upper atmosphere and emit light and colors. The solar wind reacts to the Earth's magnetic field and then spreads across the ionosphere (the upper, charged layer of our atmosphere).
What effects do Earths magnetic field and ozone layer have on Earth's ability to support life?
