No, the cause of continental drifts is actually the flow of the magma below the continental plates and the oceanic plates

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.


What may cause a compass needle to point to a television rather than earths magnetic north pole?

The television or something in it must be generating a magnetic field.


What is the major cause of earths magnetic feild?

Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?

Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.


What kind of energy could cause a sunspot?

Magnetism. They are magnetic storms.


Do the magnetic reactions which cause aurora borealis affect earths rotation like an electric motor?

No, the magnetic reactions that cause aurora borealis do not affect Earth's rotation like an electric motor. The aurora is a result of solar wind interacting with Earth's magnetic field, creating light displays in the polar regions. Earth's rotation is primarily influenced by gravitational forces, not by magnetic reactions.


How have Earths magnetic poles reversed many times during Earths history?

Earth's magnetic poles have reversed many times in the past due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core. As the molten metal moves, it generates the Earth's magnetic field. Over time, this movement can cause the magnetic field to weaken, flip, and establish a new polarity. The process of pole reversals is a natural part of the Earth's geophysical history.


Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?

No, the Earth's magnetic field does not cause the Earth to tilt. The tilt of the Earth's axis, also known as obliquity, is believed to have been caused by the gravitational influence of other planets during the early formation of the solar system. The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core.


Could Uneven heating of air in earths atmosphere can cause convection to occur?

Yes, that's the basic cause of convection.


What is the most likely cause for the existence of the earths magnetic field?

The most likely cause of Earth's magnetic field is the movement of molten iron and nickel in its outer core, which creates electric currents that generate the magnetic field through a process called the geodynamo.
