    Geomagnetism is a domain of geophysics which studies the origin and nature of the Earth’s magnetic field. Geomagnetism involves integrated approaches to decipher ancient and contemporary magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets of the solar system. The Earth’s magnetic field or geomagnetic field surrounds the planet where 98 % of the field is generated by the geodynamo, creating the magnetosphere. Geodynamo is the compositional and thermal convection in the outer liquid core of the conductive material (mainly iron). Convective electrical current produces the geomagnetic field. The main part of the field is produced in the Earth’s core and is described near the Earth’s surface as a magnetic field of a dipole. The dipole has its magnetic South Pole oriented toward the geographical North Pole.
