Solution
The magnetic behavior of the Earth is due to core.
Explanation:
The core, mainly composed of iron and nickel (NIFE), is responsible for earth’s magnetism. The movement of molten iron in the outer core generates the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic field creates the magnetic north and south poles, which do not exactly align with the geographical poles.
