yeah bro, look at how hot the inner core is

if magnetism was based on iron in the ground then compasses would be all over the place @the21cat

if u for example have a spule thats not amgnetic and run current through u have a magnet

and the temperature its magnetic properties shouldnt function

Magnetic fields can lose their both and south poles

Yeah thats true

but they’ll still have magnetic properties

So what actually is causing it?

And anyway heating wouldn’t make them lose that either

big brain

@Teddy uhm that curie temperature doenst apply at core its for perma magnets

what is a perma magnet

^

like a solid?

no

similar to how we store data on disc

What

i don't see no permanent magnets in the wikipedia article mate

u have metal and the atoms or molecules get orderd and all point in same direction

then they have a constant magnetic field

yeah

tahts basically perma magnet

so what is the core?

is it not in a single direction

its moving metal

Have you heard of polarity in chemistry

iron i think

yeah water is super polar

Thats the other part of the direction thing

well enough for it to do weird stuff

Iron does loses its magnetic properties when heated bro

Yes what obliterator said

you playing semantics with me innit?

lucas the point isn't that it is inherently magnetic

but the moving current of the metal makes a magnetic field

^

how comes it fookn moves in the first place

i'm trying to find that rn

Wait so how about the magnets on the sea floor from the lava. Hoe we found continental drift and there were both magnetic north andsouth

it says that the inner core moves west to east, why do we have north and south pole? it should be equator poles innit?

Okok so atoms that are colder are closer together, right? We can agree on that based off of basic knowledge of solids liquids and gasses?
