What is the composition of Earth's inner core, and how does it contribute to Earth's magnetic field?
The inner core is primarily composed of solid iron and nickel. Its heat flow generates Earth’s magnetic field through the geodynamo process, wherein convective currents in the outer core create electric currents that produce magnetic fields.
