| | Earth's Interior |
| | To make the magnetic field, the convection must be relatively rapid (much faster than it is in the plastic mantle), so the core must be fluid. | | | 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. | | | The part of the mantle near the crust, about 50-100 km down, is especially soft and plastic, and is called the asthenosphere. |
