| | Earth's Interior |
| | The earth is divided into four main layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. | | | The earth cannot be a large permanent magnet, since magnetic minerals lose their magnetism when they are hotter than about 500 degrees C. Almost all of the earth is hotter, and the only other way to make a magnetic field is with a circulating electric current. | | | A compass magnet aligns with the magnetic field anywhere on the Earth, but other bodies like the Moon and Mars have no magnetic field. |
