Since when does magnetism hold water and atmospheric gases in place?  Are you perhaps confusing magnetism and gravity? The article you posted says nothing about the effects you describe.

 

This might give you some much-needed help:

Contenduhh,

 

Obviously, you read neither my link, nor the link you posted.  I considered using that link, but posted the other one as it spells out the interaction of the electro-magnetic field and the atmosphere in layman's terms.  Gravity only goes so far in holding down air and water, as Mars proves.  Its estimated that if the Earth lost its field, in one year most of ours would be gone, as well. As Earth has four times the gravity of Mars, air and water would survive in the previous deep sea beds such as the Marianna's trench.
