During which type of solar weather would one predict power grid operations on Earth could degrade?(1 point)

Power grid operations on Earth could degrade primarily during **coronal mass ejections (CMEs)**. CMEs can cause geomagnetic storms when they interact with the Earth's magnetic field, leading to voltage instability and other issues in electrical infrastructure.

Which prediction is most likely to happen due to solar energetic particles during a solar radiation storm?(1 point)

Power will go out in cities across the world.

The most likely prediction to happen due to solar energetic particles during a solar radiation storm is that **radio communications at high latitudes will be blocked**. Solar energetic particles can interfere with radio signals, particularly at higher latitudes where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge.

Which would scientists predict might happen due to solar flares?(1 point)

Responses

radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate
radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate

power grid operations will go offline
power grid operations will go offline

electrical systems in satellites will fail
electrical systems in satellites will fail

high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked

Scientists would predict that **high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked** due to solar flares. Solar flares can cause disturbances in the ionosphere, leading to disruptions in high-frequency radio communications.
