Without the massive influx of energy at the poles, which we get from a magnetic induction process made possible by the Magnetic field of the Earth and the Magnetic output of the Sun, the core of our planet would grow cold.
Don't tell anyone, but it is changes in the Sun's magnetic field that affect the temperature and therefore movement of magma, movement of the crust, and are the reason the core is hot.
Mars, for example, has no magnetic field, and it's core is cold. As far as we know. There are no volcanoes, active or dead, on Mars.
