The Earth's magnetic field is created by electric currents in the conductive material of its core. These currents are constantly created by convection currents, heat escaping from the core. The magnetic field helps to protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Answer:

Magnetic material such as iron and nickel are present in core of the earth. The domains of the magnetic material arranged in uni-direction creating the enormous magnetic field of the Earth.

The magnetosphere surrounds the Earth and protects from the incoming high speed charged particles from the sun by deflecting them further into space.
