earth's spin

[trevorjohnson83]

so its thursday night, lets debate, to day I 'learned' this: Yes, Earth's rotation contributes to the generation of its magnetic field, which is known as the geodynamo process. The geodynamo process is a self-sustaining mechanism that occurs in the Earth's outer core, where convective forces churn molten metals and create whirlpools. The Earth's rotation drives these whirlpools, which, along with the convective forces, generate electrical currents that flow at thousands of miles per hour. The motion of the electrically conducting iron in the Earth's magnetic field then induces electric currents, which create their own magnetic field. This process is similar to a natural electrical generator, and the magnetic field is maintained as long as there is enough energy to keep the convection going.

I say spin is caused by density in the core of the earth turning the individual spin of the atoms into a collective spin of the whole earth?

The one thing to remember is that Mars was thought to have had a magnetic field, but doesn't any more. Most likely because its insides stopped being liquid.

Actually, Earth's core is already magnetically polarized. What Earth's spin does is generate electrical currents throughout the mantle, crust and atmosphere.

Earth's outer core, where convective forces churn molten metals and create whirlpools. The Earth's rotation drives these whirlpools

In part. The rotation of the core as with the Earth are leftover energies from the spin of material collapse in the early solar system leading to Earth's formation.

Earth's magnetic field then induces electric currents, which create their own magnetic field.

All electricity involves a vestigial magnetic field since electricity and magnetism are both qualities of the same EM force.

This process is similar to a natural electrical generator, and the magnetic field is maintained as long as there is enough energy to keep the convection going.

Actually, generators and alternators have self-contained static magnetic fields and it is the armature spinning with in it that generates electricity,

No. Atomic spin is a requisite quantum statistical quality of matter.

What causes the magnetic field to weaken or even flip?

When I read your post, the first thing that came to mind was that seems a rather intricate plan to have happened by coincidence of a Big Bang. That takes lots of Physics, and scientific knowledge prior to it taking place. How fast a rotation is needed? How much energy is necessary? What kind of metal? What axis, 23 or 24 tilt?

What causes the magnetic field to weaken or even flip?

The inner core is hot from the creation of the Earth. Convection within the molten core generates currents whose movement accumulate opposing charges which organize opposite each other to form a dynamo.

This in turn induces currents within the mantle and outer core. These earth currents collect charges of their own which organize opposing each other and opposite to the core. If enough N charges are somehow collected on the same side as the N side of the core, they begin to repel each other until enough force is created to induce the core to flip around so that its N side again aligns with the S side of the Earth and vise versa as opposite charges attract to maintain optimum magnetohyrodynamism (least about of energy lost to its operation).

why, in your mind, doesn't the EM field come from the core of nucleus but from a shell or cloud of electrons around the nucleus? It is becoming quite clear that atoms under the microscope don't have a nucleus with an electron. You can't spin the earth until you take the space out of the atom.

Because if it did, since everything has atoms, then everything would likewise have a magnetic field.

You can't see atoms under a microscope.

All atoms have a nucleus with an electron shell.

Rubbish.

So only the electron shell of some atoms creates a magnetic field and others not so much? Don't all atoms have an electron shell and thereby a magnetic field?

You can't see atoms under a microscope.

why's that? pictures on the internet would point to contrary?

All atoms have a nucleus with an electron shell.

No.

No.

Determined by quark confinement theories.
