As the solid core rotates inside the fluid core, it generates the earth's magnetic field & protective radiation belts. http://www.universetoday.com/13107/discovery-of-the-earths-inner-inner-core/ [/quote] Why is it allays that something melted is rotating inside this planet? Can anybody explain [b]what is still keeping[/b] that “core thing” [b]rotating, despite the enormous friction forces[/b] with the solid mantle [b]?[/b] [/quote] If the out side layer was stationary it would be true It will continue spinning like it did from the moment of construction as all moving at same rate [/quote]
Original Message
although we know that other planets have magnetic fields too...
So maybe this cage is not so "naturally occurring"...
but then, its generator (or whatever) would have to be in the center of the earth...
but
there is (?) only
molten lava !
What do you think?
