Which would scientists predict might happen due to solar flares?(1 point)
Responses
high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked
high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication will be blocked
electrical systems in satellites will fail
electrical systems in satellites will fail
power grid operations will go offline
power grid operations will go offline
radio navigation systems and global positioning systems will be inaccurate
All of the responses are correct. Scientists would predict that solar flares could potentially cause high-frequency radio waves to be blocked, leading to communication disruptions. They could also cause electrical systems in satellites to fail, resulting in satellite malfunctions. Solar flares could also potentially affect power grids, leading to power outages. Additionally, radio navigation systems and global positioning systems may become inaccurate due to the effects of solar flares.
choose one
If I have to choose only one, scientists would predict that electrical systems in satellites could fail due to solar flares.
During which type of solar weather would one predict power grid operations on Earth could degrade?(1 point)
Responses
solar energetic particles
solar energetic particles
coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
solar flares
solar flares
solar wind
The correct response is coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Scientists would predict that power grid operations on Earth could degrade during CMEs, as these events involve a massive release of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun that can interact with Earth's magnetic field and cause disruptions in electrical systems. While solar flares and solar energetic particles can also have impacts on various technologies, CMEs are particularly known for their potential to affect power grids.
Which prediction is most likely to happen due to solar energetic particles during a solar radiation storm?(1 point)
Responses
Radio navigation and GPS systems will be inaccurate.
Radio navigation and GPS systems will be inaccurate.
Satellites will need to be repositioned due to satellite drag.
Satellites will need to be repositioned due to satellite drag.
Radio communications at high latitudes will be blocked.
Radio communications at high latitudes will be blocked.
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 radiation storms can cause an increase in particles, particularly high-energy protons, that can interfere with radio signals and disrupt communications. While satellite repositioning and power outages can occur during severe solar radiation storms, the blocking of radio communications at high latitudes is a more common occurrence.
