The mag field is caused by the moisture in the atmosphere. When Mars had an atmosphere with moisture it had a mag field and was protected. Methane could substitute for water moisture. Mars lost its atmosphere and a portion of its crust due to a near collision with something that is long gone, possibly the body that gave rise to the Asteroid Belt. A similar thing happened to earth.

I thought Earth's magnetic field was generated in the core.

Water cannot be torn. This is silly.

I thought Earth's magnetic field was generated in the core. A scientist said that many years ago when somebody asked him; due to nobody having a different idea, we have run with it. It was just a suggestion, one of those back of the envelope doodles.

Mars' greedy business class raped the planet a billion years ago.
Now Halliburton will make billions on the re-watering contract!
D*mn Republicans.

I'm soory but I will withhold judgment until we get expert opinion from Al Gore. He is the go-to guy on all issues of this type!

I thought that was proven. I know the Earth's surface has a lot of water, but not enough to generate the massive magnetic field we have.

Mars is not a hospitable place for water. At the surface of Mars, the atmospheric pressure is so low that the boiling and freezing point of water are very close together.
However, since the atmosphere of Mars only contains about 250 parts per million of water vapor, the inevitable conclusion is that there never has been and never will be surface water on Mars.
