What characteristics of the Earth makes a giant magnet?
the molten iron core
Why is the earth is a big magnet?
Earth has a molten liquid core containing iron. It is believed that as it moves or spins, it creates an electric current that causes a magnetic field around the Earth. The field is believed to be created by this dynamo action. The magnetic field makes the Earth act like a huge magnet so it attracts like one. That's why it pulls the magnetized needle in a compass and makes it point in the general direction of the North Pole.>alryan< add me on facebook: alryanupi@yahoo.com
How is a moving magnet used to create electricity?
makes current flow through a magnet
What matierial makes magnets?
There are a range of metals which can be used to make a magnet.
How does a subduction effect earth?
They move the ocean floor as if it were on a giant conveyor belt.
What characteristics of the Earth makes a giant magnet?
the molten iron core
What characteristic of the earth makes its giant magnet?
the molten iron core
What charicteristic of the earth makes it a giant magnet?
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. This movement creates electric currents, which in turn generate a magnetic field around the planet. This magnetic field acts as a giant magnet, with one pole near the geographic North Pole and the other near the South Pole.
Which layer in the atmosphere acts like a giant magnet?
The layer of the atmosphere that acts like a giant magnet is the ionosphere. Located approximately 30 to 600 miles above the Earth's surface, it contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons, which can reflect and modify radio waves. This property makes the ionosphere crucial for radio communications and navigation. Additionally, it plays a significant role in protecting the Earth from solar and cosmic radiation.
What a moving magnet makes?
makes current flow through a magnet
What makes the permanent magnet create its field?
I believe the earth's core creates friction as it the earth rotates and that generates the field. Not 100% on that though.
Why won't a compass work near a magnet?
The compass needle is itself a magnet which is why it always points north according to the earth's magnetic field. If you place a magnet (Whose magnetic power is stronger than the earth's) close to the compass its needle will be attracted t the magnet and not to the North Pole.
Is there anything on mars that makes it better than earth?
Mars has giant mountains (i.e. Olympus Mons).
What makes someone a magnet to rabies?
What Makes Someone a magnet to rabies is if an animal with rabies bites, licks, or attacks you.
What makes a magnet a magnet?
The arrangement of molecules in a magnet makes itself a magnet.if u want to know further,try searching "Ewing's molecular theory of magnetism".
What makes a refrigerator a magnet?
The refrigerator isn't actually a magnet, it it simply made of metal which magnets can then stick to.
