The Earth's magnetic field is the result of electric currents in the liquid metal outer core.
The outer core of the Earth is over 2,000 km thick. It sits above the solid inner core and is composed of highly conducting liquid iron and nickel. Above the outer core is the Earth's mantle.
The geodynamo is the mechanism thought to be responsible for the electric current in the core and the generation of the Earth's magnetic field through the convection of conducting fluids in the Earth's core. Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.

∙ 12y agothe layer of the earth resposible for the earths magnetic field is the core which consists of the liquid core/outer core and the solid core/inner core. The outer core constitutes mainly of nickel, colbalt and iron. in the ouer core there are convectional currents and from physics we have that when a magnetic conductor is subjected to a veloctiy a voltage is created and this voltage leads to an electric current and this leads to a magnetic charge being generated. this leads to magnetism of the earth.

How does Earth's magnetic field benefit to life?
For the planet : none. For the planet as we know it: it shields us from the solar wind, a flow of high energy particles that the sun emits (solar flares,ect.) ,much as the ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet radiation.
What is magnetic shell?
A magnetic shell is a theoretical magnetic body. It is believed that this magnetic 'shell' or layer has north and south surface poles on opposite ends.
What surrounds an electrified wire?
You would usually put a layer of insulation, often plastic, around a wire which carries electricity. However you may be looking for the magnetic field which forms when a current flows.
What medium is magnetic disc?
The hard disks of computers are usually glass or aluminum coated with a very thin layer of fine grained magnetic material.
What is pedosphere?
is the outermost layer of the Earth
The dynamo theory states that Earth's magnetic field is created in what layer?
In the Dynamo Theory, the magnetic field of the earth is created in the outer core. The fluid contained in the outer core creates and maintains the magnetic field during rotation.
Which layer of the earth produces its magnetic field?
The earth's outer core produces the magnetic field.
What creates Earth's magnetic Earth?
Scientists think that the presence of the molten nickel iron layer of Earth's outer core and the spinning of the planet creates the magnetic field through the geodynamo mechanism.The geodynamo mechanism couples the convection of the liquid metal in the Earth's core with the magnetic field to create the current responsible for the magnetic field.Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.See related links.Earth's magnetic field is generated by the electric currents in the conductive material of its core.
What is the layer of the earth with the magnetic field?
The Outer Core
What layer in the earth is the magnetic field produced?
The OUTER CORE

What layer of the earth is believed to control the Earth's magnetic field?
inner core
What is the layer in which the magnetic field of the Earth is produced?
The outer liquid core produces the strong magnetic field of the Earth, through the dynamo effect.
How thick is the third layer core?
The third layer of Earth is called the outer core. It is a 2,200 km-thick liquid core and is made up of iron, which is very dense and creates a magnetic field as it spins.
Match the layer of Earth with its characteristic. A.Lithosphere Creates Earth's magnetic field B.Asthenosphere Contains the lower mantle C.Mesosphere Contains the crust D.Core Most deformable laye?

What protects the Earth from too much radiant energy?
The Earth projects a powerful magnetic field from the spinning of it's mantle/core. These magnetic fields deflect most of the Suns worst rays. But some pass through but are also deflected by various parts of the atmosphere.
Which layer of the earth spins giving us a magnetic field?
The entire Earth spins. No layer has a rotation rate the differs significantly from the rest of the planet. If any layer did the results would be catastrophic. The magnetic field is the result of convection currents in the outer core.
