The Earth's magnetic field is called the Magnetosphere. Loops of magnetic energy coupling the north and south pole that trap energetic subatomic particles are called the Van Allen belt.

The shape of the magnetic fields around the earth is influenced by the 'aurora borealis' or 'solar wind'?
Solar wind.
Is limestone magnetic?
No, the limestone is not magnetic due to the magnetic fields in the stone itself.
Do humans have a magnetic field?
No. The magnetic fields of objects such as planets are due to currents withing their molten interiors. Asteroids are completely solid and so do not have magnetic fields.
Creates a magnetic field?
Both magnetic materials and moving electric charges induce magnetic fields.
Is earth an electromagnet?
a part of the earths structure causes it to act like an electromagnet
Do bats use the earths magnetic fields?
no
What is the relationship between earths magnetic fields and the northern and southern lights?
because of electrons
Will a compass always work?
No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass reacts to magnetic fields; the magnetic south pole of Earth is not exactly at the geographic north pole, so at some points of the Earth's surface, the magnetic compass will actually point south instead of north. Also, a magnetic compass will be influenced by other magnetic fields, e.g., current-carrying wires.No. I assume you mean a magnetic compass.

What evidence is there that the earths magnetic fields move?
Ancient pottery shows movement of the earth's magnetic field. Firing the pottery fixes the ambient magnetic field in the fired pottery.
The shape of the magnetic fields around the earth is influenced by the 'aurora borealis' or 'solar wind'?
Solar wind.
What are the cool magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun?
Magnetic fields that dot the surface of the sun are known as sunspots. Although they are hardly cool in temperature, they are much colder than surrounding areas, which causes them to be visible as darkened spots.
When was The Magnetic Fields created?
The Magnetic Fields was created in 1989.
What is a science experiment that demonstrates that magnetic fields cannot be blocked?
Magnetic fields can be blocked. Magnetic fields cannot penetrate a superconductor, and regions can be shielded from magnetic fields using ferromagnetic materials.
What do you have to add to a compass to make it in line with the earths magnetic field?
Nothing. That's exactly what a compass does ... as long as it's free to turn, and there are no ferrous metals or other sources of magnetic fields nearby.
What do you need magnetic fields for?
magnetic fields are essential to production of electricity
What can be inferred about magnetic fields and paper?
Paper is not affected by magnetic fields.
Volcanic rock shows that some layers have magnetic fields that are aligned opposite to Earths This evidence BEST fits which hypothesis?
Sea floor spreading / plate tectonics. Also magnetic reversal in the past.
