Understand the Problem

The question appears to be asking for specific terms related to Earth's magnetic field, including what materials are in the core and phenomena contributing to the magnetic field.

Answer

Convection currents in Earth's core cause the magnetic field. The core has a liquid outer core. Denser metals sink; lighter ones rise.

The constant motion of the convection currents in Earth's core and the rotation of Earth contribute to the magnetic field. Earth's core is composed of a liquid outer core, where molten metals like iron and nickel cause convection currents. During formation, denser metals sink, while lighter non-crystallized metals rise.
