which layer of the earth is responsible for generating the earth magnetic field?
the atmosphere
earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the sun. the magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of molten iron in the earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo. the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at its surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas (0.25 to 0.65 gauss). as an approximation, it is represented by a field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to earth's rotational axis, as if there were a bar magnet placed at that angle at the center of the earth. the north geomagnetic pole, currently located near greenland in the northern hemisphere, is actually the south pole of the earth's magnetic field, and conversely.
