GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic materials are those which are attracted to a magnet. Examples of such materials include iron, nickel, and cobalt, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -The metals that are magnetic (attracted to magnets) are also the metals that can be made into magnets. The most common magnetic metal is iron which is the main substance in steel. Iron is also in a mineral called loadstone which is the most magnetic naturally-occurring mineral.

Detailed explanation-3: -Materials like iron, steel, nickel etc are attracted by magnets and they are called magnetic materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnets are objects, which can attract, or pull, on some metals, like iron and steel. If you rub a piece of steel with a strong magnet, the piece of steel will become a magnet too. It has become magnetized. Other metals, like copper or gold, are not attracted to magnets.

Detailed explanation-5: -Iron is an extremely well-known ferromagnetic metal. It is, in fact, the strongest ferromagnetic metal. It forms an integral part of the earth’s core and imparts its magnetic properties to our planet. That is why the Earth acts as a permanent magnet on its own.
