what is the interaction between cosmic radiation and Earth's magnetic field
If the cosmic radiation from the sun influences and distorts the
magnetic field of the Earth, to what extent if any would this affect
the molten lava  ( iron core ) of the Earth and would this generate
the heat that keeps the core molten?
