"It electrically conducts the material within the earth and the planet acts as a self-exciting dynamo." [Encarta Encyclopedia 1998] The conducting material and the geomagnetic field may mutually control each other. Study of this theory is called magnetohydrodynamics or hydromagnetics. The study of how the magnetic field ha changed throughout the earth's history, called paleomagnetism, provided the first strong theories of plate tectonics.

More proof of this theory is the fact that the surface of the earth has a nega
