• both pieces will have one pole
• the two pieces have a stronger magnetic field
• the two pieces will repel eachother

This material allows electrons to flow easily through it

How does earth's magnetic field protect life on earth?

• it directs charged particles to the poles and then past earth

• it absorbs charged particles

• it directs particles to the poles, where they are absorbed

• it directs particles toward earth's equator
