A. outer core
B. lower mantle
C. radioactive material
D. asteroid bombardment

Answers

The earth has four layers; thecrust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The Earth’s magneticfield is the combination from the convection it receives from the outer coreand the Coriolis Effect. The answer is letter A.
