According to electromagnetic principles, any moving electric charge produces a magnetic field.

As the outer-core molten metal moves, it:

  • Drags WHAT with it

  • Generates looping electrical WHAT

  • Creates WHAT around those currents

According to electromagnetic principles, any moving electric charge produces a magnetic field.

As the outer-core molten metal moves, it:

  • Drags ELECTRIC CHARGES with it

  • Generates looping electrical CURRENTS

  • Creates MAGNETIC FIELDS around those currents

So, convection in the WHAT outer core generates Earth’s magnetic field.

So, convection in the LIQUID outer core generates Earth’s magnetic field.
