Earth's magnetic field functions as a shield that protects the planet from harmful solar winds and cosmic radiation. It also helps birds and other animals navigate during migration through the Earth's magnetic cues. Additionally, it plays a role in the formation of the auroras in the polar regions.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the Earths magnetic field at its strongest?
The Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the North and South magnetic poles, which are not the same as the geographic North and South poles. The magnetic field strength varies at different locations on the Earth's surface.
Is earths magnetic field the weakest at its poles?
No, but at the poles the field (because of the orientation of the field lines) offers the least protection.
Is a compass affected by the earths magnetic field?
Yes, a compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The needle in a compass is magnetized and will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Earth's magnetic field does not affect light or sound. It primarily interacts with charged particles such as electrons and protons in Earth's atmosphere and in space.
What are the two theories that attempt to explain earths magnetic field?
the two theories that attempt to explain earths magnetic field are Dynamo theory--the theory that is believed by the majority of geologists. it says the rotation of the earth causes the liquid core to move in one overall direction, causing the movement of electrical charges, creating the current making the magnetic field. Rapid-decay theory---is believed by the minority of geologists. it makes assumptions about how the earth was formed to calculate how much electrical current would be generated and how much it would have slowed down. =
How are 'Southern lights' formed?
bright lights from the solar wind trapped in the earths magnetic field.
Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?
Yes.
How are the Earths magnetic field made?
It is made by the movement of the earths core and magma field
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.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
What is earths magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
Where does the earth's magnetic field get its power from?
earths magnetic field is generated by the circulation of liquid metal.
What is the magnetic field called?
It is Earths' "Magnetosphere".
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
What is earths field that reverses from time to time?
The Earth's Magnetic field.
The alignment of iron-bearing minerals in rocks when they formed reflections the fact that earths has reversed itself several times in its past?
magnetic field .
At which location is earths magnetic field the strongest?
Earth's magnetic field is strongest at the magnetic North Pole and the magnetic South Pole.
