Question

Which describes a difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm? Select the three correct answers.(2 points) Responses Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun. Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth. Geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach Earth. Geomagnetic storms are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally. Geomagnetic storms are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.

Answer 1

The three correct answers that describe a difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm are:

1. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun.
2. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.
3. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.

These statements illustrate the nature and occurrence of both phenomena correctly.
