What is megnetism caused by?
Magnetism is caused by electric currents that travel opposite of each other. That is a physics concept. Magnetism as a whole and in general exists only because the Earth has a magnetic field surrounding it. The reason for this is likely interrelated with gravity and mass, but we do know that the strength of the Earth's magnetic field is currently declining. What this means for magnets remains to be seen.
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.
What does the Earth's magnetic field have to do with plate tectonics?
Earth's magnetic field doesn't have much to do with tectonic plates. But both are caused by movement of the magma. The magnetic field is caused by electrical currents flowing in the magma, roughly parallel with the Equator. [A few % of the field is caused by the flow of the Solar Wind past the Earth.] Tectonic plates move around the surface of the Earth over the liquid magma. The gravity drag of the Moon causes the Earth's crust to rotate (very) slightly more slowly than the inner core. Consider the shape of the island arc joining S America to the Antarctic. And the slow movement of the pacific Ocean's floor with regard to a few (postulated) stationary hot spots. Such as Hawaii, and some ocean floor chains of sea-mounts East of New Zealand.
What is the magnetic force of this planet called?
The magnetic force on Earth is called Earth's magnetic field or also the geomagnetic field.
Is the movement of sunspots caused by the spinning of earth on its axis?
No, sunspots are caused by the Sun's magnetic field becoming twisted and concentrated in certain areas. This magnetic activity on the Sun's surface leads to sunspots, not the spinning of the Earth on its axis.
Lunar phases are caused by motions of?
it is caused by gravity, force, and magnetic field, even the earth's atmosphere
Earths magnetic field is not the cause of gravity?
No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.
Why is gravity caused by earths magnetic field?
It isnt. Two different forces; gravity and magnetism. As for how gravity works; all objects have their own "gravity", the bigger they are, the more gravitational pull they have. Why gravity works; nobody knows or we would all have flying cars.
Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field and gravity are two separate phenomena. Earth's magnetic field is generated by its core while gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between objects, including the force that keeps us anchored to the Earth.
How did the earth get the magnetic field?
Because there's a magnet in the centre of the earth which is known that it's the source of gravity. It's magnetic field is around the earth obviously.
What are Magnetic stripes on the sea floor caused by?
Magnetic stripes on the sea floor are caused by the alternating polarities of Earth's magnetic field. As magma rises and solidifies at mid-ocean ridges, it locks in the magnetic orientation of the Earth's field at that time. Over time, as the Earth's magnetic field reverses, these magnetic stripes are preserved, providing a record of past magnetic field variations.
Earth's magnetic field is caused by?
The liquid outer-core.
Does mars have a gravity magnetic field?
Mars has gravity, as do all planets, but not a magnetic field.

Along with the spin of the Earth what causes its magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is caused by the movement of molten iron and nickel in its outer core. This creates a dynamo effect, generating electric currents that produce the magnetic field.
What are sources make up the earths magnetic field?
The earth's magnetic field is caused by convection currents in our core. The core is made out of iron, which is a magnetic metal.
What is caused by the revolution of the earth?
The day-night cycle (obviously), the tides, and the Earth's magnetic field.
