Which describes a difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
Responses
Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.
Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.
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.
Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.

Apologies for the oversight. The first correct difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm is:
1. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally, while solar wind is constant.
Apologies for the confusion. The second correct difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm is:
2. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections), while solar wind is associated with the constant activity of the sun.
The two correct answers are:
1. It generates auroras.
2. It causes geomagnetic storms.
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answers are:
1. It generates auroras.
2. It causes geomagnetic storms.
the third asnwer for the first question is wrong.
The right answer is: Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.
None of the options provided are correct.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. The three correct differences between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm are:
1. Solar wind is a constant stream of charged particles emitted by the sun, while geomagnetic storms are intermittent disturbances in Earth's magnetic field caused by interactions between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere.
2. Geomagnetic storms are often triggered by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) - massive eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun, while solar wind is associated with the continuous activity of the sun.
3. Solar wind takes around four days to reach Earth after being emitted from the sun, while the effects of a geomagnetic storm can be felt immediately upon its arrival.
