Earth's magnetic field is thought to be a result of the movement of liquid iron and nickel in the outer core of the Earth, creating a dynamo effect. This movement generates electric currents that produce the magnetic field surrounding our planet.

What is one result of convection currents in earths outer core?

One result of convection currents in Earth's outer core is the generation of Earth's magnetic field. As the hot, molten iron in the outer core moves in a circular motion due to convection currents, it creates a dynamo effect that generates the magnetic field.
