Question

Analyze the following terms and phrases about solar activity. Select the two that represent correct
matches between cause and effect. (1 point)
coronal mass ejection -relatively cool spot on surface of the sun
sunspot - magnetic field of the sun emerges as a loop
solar flare-sudden release of magnetic energy
sun's magnetic field -uneven churning of the sun's gravitational field
solar activity - sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy

Answer 1

The two phrases that represent correct matches between cause and effect are:

1. **solar flare - sudden release of magnetic energy**
This is a correct match because solar flares are indeed caused by the sudden release of magnetic energy stored in the sun's atmosphere.

2. **coronal mass ejection - sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy**
This is also a correct match as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic fields from the solar corona, which can result in significant solar activity.

The other options do not correctly match cause and effect.
