Earth’s Magnetic Field and the Van Allen Belts.

Diagram of Earth's magnetic field showing the Van Allen belts, two radiation layers protecting the planet from cosmic radiation, with magnetic axis labeled.

This illustration of the Van Allen radiation belts showcases Earth’s magnetic field structure and its protective role against charged particles from space. Ideal for earth science textbooks, the diagram helps explain how the Van Allen belts form part of Earth’s magnetosphere, protecting the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation.
