The convection in the outer core, along with rotation of Earth that causes rotation of the outer core, initiates a flow of electric current in the core. This flow of current within the core produces and sustains Earth's magnetic field.

What happens in earth interior to produce earths magnetic field describe the layer where the magnetic field is produced?

What escapes the crust is what we observe as the earths magnetic field. The outer core is a rotating mass of fluid metal that induces an electrical current which in turn generates the magnetosphere.


The possible source of earths magnetic core is?

The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.


How can somethings magnetic field like a tokamak not affect the earths magnetic field?

Because it is far too small to have any effect. The Earth's magnetic field is thought to be generated thousands of miles underground by moving rivers of iron.


What layer created earths magnetic field?

Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core of the planet. This movement generates electric currents, which in turn produce the magnetic field that surrounds Earth.


Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?

Yes.


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.
