Question
how are van allen belts formed? high - energy particles from the sun get trapped in earths magnetic field. metals in earths core sink and rise, producing a circular movement of the metals. particles in solar wind travel along lines of earths magnetic field and collide with gas atoms. material from the surface of the sun erupts and forms a loop due to the suns magnetic field.
Van Allen belts are formed by solar high - energy particles trapped in Earth's magnetic field.
