This question belongs in physics, but it is due to electrical currents that exist in the mantle of the earth. The mantle of the earth is like a very viscous liquid that contains many ionized elements and metallic substances. As the liquid mantle moves this causes a current which generates a magnetic field (because an electric current produces a magnetic field).
