All magnetism is due to circulating electric currents. In magnetic materials the magnetism is produced by electrons orbiting within the atoms; In most substances the magnetic effects of different electrons cancel each other out, but in some, such as iron, a net magnetic field can be induced by aligning the atoms.

What causes a magnet to loose its magnetism?
high temperature, AC magnetic fields, mechanical shocks, and physical distortion.
Why do scientists think tat the earth is magnetic?
The main evidence of the earth's magnetism are compasses. They always point towards the north pole of the earth. This phonemnon is best explain by the earth having a magnetic field.

What is an example of how animals are affected by magnetism?
There are turtles that can sense a certain direction, and scientists think it's because the turtles have built-in magnets.
What do scientists think causes movements of the pates?

Spin causes electrons to?
Spin causes electrons to exhibit magnetism.
What part of the atom causes magnetism and how does it cause magnetism?
Magnetism is mainly due to electrons, though some nuclei also have a magnetic moment.
Is the source of earth's magnetism fully understood by scientists?
No, not fully understood but most of the source and system have understood by scientists.
What kinds of magnetism did scientists finds while studying the ocean floor?
While studying the ocean floor, scientists found alternating bands of magnetism. Each band is magnetized with a polarity that is opposite the surrounding bands.
How do scientists make new discoveries in magnetism?
By working really hard on a topic

Does magnetism happen when positive and negative charges are not in balance?
I think that magnetism does not have balence
Is there an upper limit to magnetism or can magnetism only gain so much power?
I think there is no limit
