crust
Brief Explanations
Earth's magnetic field is generated by the geodynamo effect: the liquid outer core (composed of iron-nickel alloys) flows around the solid, iron-rich inner core, creating electric currents that produce the magnetic field. The crust and mantle do not contribute to this field.
