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 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 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 are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally.
Geomagnetic storms are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally.

Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.

Answer 1

The three correct answers that describe the differences between solar wind and geomagnetic storms are:

1. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.

2. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun.

3. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.

These statements correctly highlight the relationships and characteristics of solar wind and geomagnetic storms.

Answer 2

Question
How does solar weather affect Earth's magnetosphere? Select the two correct answers.(1 point)
Responses

It develops solar wind.
It develops solar wind.

It forms radiation belts.
It forms radiation belts.

It generates auroras.
It generates auroras.

It causes geomagnetic storms.

Answer 3

The two correct answers regarding how solar weather affects Earth's magnetosphere are:

1. It generates auroras.

2. It causes geomagnetic storms.

Both of these effects are directly influenced by solar weather phenomena, such as solar wind and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which interact with Earth's magnetosphere.
