Planetary Geology
... Because Mars's interior is cooler than Earth's, its liquid core layer may not be undergoing convection. Mars is too far from the Sun to have a global magnetic field. The Martian core is made of rock, while Earth's core is made of metal. Mars rotates much slower than the Earth. All of the above. ...
