Question

ONE WORD ANSWER




Which layer of the earth’s interior produces the earth’s magnetic field and how?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The liquid outer core

Explanation:

On Earth, the flowing of liquid metal in the outer core of the planet generates electric currents. The rotation of Earth on its axis causes these electric currents to form a magnetic field which that extends around the planet.

Answer 2

Answer:

The liquid outer core is the source of the earth's magnetic field, as a result of its metallic nature, which means it contains electrons not attached to particular nuclei. Heat is transferred upward to the mantle from the inner core via convective cells, in which the liquid in the outer core flows in looping patterns.
