Where are the Earths magnetic fields the strongest?
The earths magnetic field is another name for the Van Allen Belts. The Van Allen radiation belts follow the magnetic field and is a torus or kind of revolving three dimensional circle of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, which is held in place by Earth’s magnetic field. This field is not uniformly distributed around the Earth. On the sunward side, it is compressed because of the solar wind, while on the other side it is elongated to around three earth radii. This creates a cavity called the Chapman Ferraro Cavity, in which the Van Allen radiation belt resides. It is split into two distinct belts, with energetic electrons forming the outer belt and a combination of protons and electrons creating the inner belt. These belts would then be strongest against solar wind at the equator and weaker at the north and south poles. See figure 1.1&1.2. But I guess the answer would depend on what your teacher is looking for.
