Answer:

Molten iron and metals in the earth's core

Step-by-step explanation:

The core of earth consists of molten iron and metals which are continuously spinned due to the rotation of earth. This spinning of earth produces result equivalent to “passing of electric current through a coil to produce magnetic field”. The neutral particles in the core are charged and thus the flow of neutrally charged particle creates a magnetic field.
