Outer core. The outer core consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel. Sent 12: Scientists think that Earths magnetic field is generated here
The idea that Earth is a magnet is far from new
In its outer core
Inner core
Where do scientists think the Earth's magnetic field is generated?
1890
Recent discovery
In 1600
When was it first suggested that Earth was a magnet?
Earth has an inner and outer core. The outer core consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel. Scientists think that Earths magnetic field is generated here
Tomograph, analized infrared images
Seismograph, studied earthquake waves
Seismograph, Seismograph are used to study earthquakes. Sent 9: By studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior
It was the seismograph that made it possible to learn why the Earth acted like a magnet. Seismograph are used to study earthquakes. By studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior
What technology made it possible to test the Earth's magnetic properties? How were scientist able to use this machine to study this phenomenon?
Knowing it acts like a magnet is one thing. Sent 4: Knowing why it acts like a magnet is more difficult. To find out why required new technology
There was no appropriate technology
Gilbert could not prove his theory because seismograph technology required see the Earth's interior was not yet developed
Humanity was not ready to accept his explanation
Seismograph are used to study earthquakes
Why was William Gilbert unable to explain prove theory that the Earth acts like a magnet in 1600?
It is caused by the motion of this liquid metal
By nuclear reacations
They discovered that Earth has an inner and outer core
The liquid metal in the outer core moves as the Earth spins generating a magnetic field
It moves
How does the liquid metal within the Earth's core generate a magnetic field?
A seismograph made it possible to learn why the Earth acted like a magnet because by studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earth's interior
The idea that Earth is a magnet
By studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior
By analyzing earthquake waves
By analyzing Earth core images
How did they learn why the Earth acts like a magnet?
Liquid metals
Seismograph
Tomograph
What technology allowed scientists to determine why the earth acts like a magnet?
There are always unanswered questions
By studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior
Earth is a magnet and why it acts like a magnet is more difficult
We know it acts like a magnet but not why it acts like a magnet
Everything
What do we know and don't about the Earth and magnets?
By nuclear reactions in Earth inner core
Earth's magnetic field is generated in the outer core by the motion of this liquid metal
It is caused by the motion of this liquid metal
Earth spins on its axis
How is the magnetic field generated?
Magnet
Iron and nikel
Iron and nickel
Steel and bronze
When the Earth spins, what are the main liquid metals it is causing to move?
Nucleus and membrane
Earth has an inner and outer core.The outer core consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel
The major parts of Earth's core are the inner or solid metal core and outer liquid metal core
Inner and outer core
The liquid metal moves as Earth spins on its axis
What are the major parts of the Earths core and how do they differ?
No
Yes
No, finding out why is a fairly recent discovery
Were seismographs available in 1600?
Motion of liquid metals
They discovered that Earth has an inner and outer core
They think the magnetic field is generated by the motion of the liquid metal in the Earth's outer core
Studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior
Gravitational waves
What do scientists think to be the immediate cause of how Earth's magnetic field is generated? Choose the relevant options
Yes, in 1600
Yes,1890
The idea that Earth is a magnet is far from new. Sent 2: It was first proposed in 1600
Knowing why it acts like a magnet is more difficult
The idea that Earth is a magnet is far from new. It was first proposed in 1600 by a British physician named William Gilbert
Does the earth have magnetic properties? If so when was this idea proposed?
The outer core that consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel
Inner core
Earths interior
The outer core
Where do scientists think the earth's magnetic field is generated?
It is caused by the motion of liquid metal
Earth has an inner and outer core. consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel.Earths magnetic field is generated here
They discovered that Earth has an inner and outer core. The outer core consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel. Scientists think that Earths magnetic field is generated here
It is caused by gravitational waves
Seismograph are used to study earthquakes
How does Earth create its magnetism?
That Earth is billion years old
That Earth has magnetic field
The idea that Earth is a magnet is new
Seismograph are used to study earthquakes
What did William Gilbert first speculate in 1600?
