An excerpt from a paper by D.R. Fearn:
The problem of magnetic field stability is complementary to the (much more widely studied) kinematic dynamo problem The dynamo mechanism converts the mechanical energy of convection into magnetic energy. If the field generated is unstable then the instability extracts energy from the field and might be expected to limit the strength of field attainable. This is an important consideration since the toroidal part of the field in the Earth's core is shielded from us by the insulating mantle and we do not know its strength. [Measurements of the DC electrical potential near the top of the mantle have been extrapolated downward to estimate the toroidal field at the core-mantle boundary (CMB), ...). This gives a toroidal field strength of a few gauss ( at the CMB), but with a weakly conducting mantle, a low value is to be expected and this result is not inconsistent with a strong toroidal field in the interior of the core (...)] There are good reasons for believing the toroidal field may be significantly stronger than the observed (poloidal) part of the field. If so, theoretical considerations may be the only way we have of determining the strength of the major component of the field. Linear theory (...) has shown that a broad class of fields, characteristic of the Earth's field, are unstable when their maximum strength exceeds a value of the order of 60 gauss which is a factor 10 greater than the observed poloidal field but is in line with many estimates of the hidden toroidal field. (...) To explain the observed features of the geomagnetic field, it is clearly important to understand how a magnetic instability evolves.

The Earth's magnetic field is probably caused by convective currents in Earth's interior.
The outer liquid core produces the strong magnetic field of the Earth, through the dynamo effect.
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
Yes, it generate a magnetic field when it enters into the earth atmosphere.
The polarity of the Earth's magnetic field is recorded in igneous rocks, and reversals.
The earth as a single object has a magnetic field. If Uruguay is part of the earth, it shares the earth's magnetic field.
The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electrical currents flowing in the earth.
Scientists believe that it is the movements in the liquid outer core that create the magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field affects the whole planet.
The magnetic force on Earth is called Earth's magnetic field or also the geomagnetic field.
The Earth's magnetic field is probably caused by convective currents in Earth's interior.
If you mean the region of influence of the earth's magnetic field then its called the earth's magnetosphere
Yes, the Earth has a magnetic field.
The earth's outer core produces the magnetic field.
The Dynamo Theory it what causes Earth's Magnetic Field
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
Venus does not have a magnetic field.
The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from getting struck by solar radiation.
