Earth’s Magnetism is generated by convection currents of molten iron and nickel in the earth’s core.
These currents carry streams of charged particles and generate magnetic fields.
Without this magnetic shield, the solar wind could have slowly destroyed our atmosphere preventing life on earth to exist.
