There are currently only 13 members of the Senate who served in the military. In all, 97 members of the next session of Congress will have served in the U.S. military. That means less than 18 percent of the new congressional delegation served in the armed forces.
the layer of the earth resposible for the earths magnetic field is the core which consists of the liquid core/outer core and the solid core/inner core.
Geophysicists are pretty sure that the reason Earth has a magnetic field is because its solid iron core is surrounded by a fluid ocean of hot, liquid metal. The flow of liquid iron in Earth's core creates electric currents, which in turn creates the magnetic field.
