Answer:

Outer core layer of earth

Step-by-step explanation:

The core of earth is made up of two layers – outer and inner layer. The outer core layer of earth is made up of liquid iron and nickel. This liquid magnetic material rotates as the earth spin. Rotation causes production of strong electric currents also called as convection current. These currents in turn produce strong magnetic force.

Thus, outer core layer of earth is thus responsible for giving Earth its magnetic properties.
