Description
Recent developments in the theory of the rise of magnetic flux from the
bottom of the convection zone to the surface to produce active regions
are reviewed. These include the explanation for the observed tilt angle
of the main magnetic axis of the active region as well as for some of
the asymmetries between the preceding and follower polarities. It is
stressed how this kind of studies may provide a way to gain insight
about the magnetic field in the dynamo layer at the same time explaining
some of the regularities observed in the active regions at the surface.
